Have you actually got the wing off? as reading you e-mail it would appear you have only taken three of the six bolts that hold the rear part of the wing on!.
In the foot well there are (or should be) 4 bolts, three are at the door pillar end of the wing, and there is a fourth at the front of the foot well. Then there is one at the top of the win in the guttering looking down from the top of the car. and there is one final one that you will find a little awkward, looking from within the engine bay you will find one inside the wing bolted through the wing to the bulkhead.
The best is probably yet to come, When you get to replacing the inner sill the areas the inner sill is supposed to weld to will probably be 'interesting'. Been there done that got the T-Shirt.. It's taken 16 years for me to reach the magical stage of 'switching the ratchet' and starting re-assembly!. Mind you I had a fair idea or what I was in for by the plate one of the DPO's (Dreaded Previous Owners) had welded to the bottom of the wing and onto the top of the sill..
