On average what gap should I be looking for between the trailing edge of the wing to leading edge of the door when I fit the wings, as with the wings and front panel clamped in I seem to have a large gap at this area?

i cant give you a measurement, but it should be similar to the gap between the door and B pillar
As Graham said, I wouldn't get hung up over measurements I don't think any MK1 is the same as any other Just make sure they're the same side to side and with the other door gaps.
Thanks for the response, just looking at photos some restos look like they are gapped to modern standards
think I am panicking as I have replaced the inner wings, bulkhead, splash panel & front chassis rails, I have jigged the inner wings & chassis rails with a homebuilt jig so happy they are in the right place but when I have fitted the new front panel and place in the outer wings I end up with a large gap to the doors. I am going to have a quick re-measure as everything is riveted in place at the moment before I commit to welding
