I decided right away to strip the car of all its parts, that incuded the suspensions as well, just an empty metal shell was left really.
The engine as it is today, this picture was taken just a few months back. The engine was removed for the sole reason of re painting the engine bay. The engine cover being a spare one from a Hillman Imp, when the old one is ready I will refit it with its correct stainless steel rub strips.

With all parts off the car it was quite easy to respray both inside and outside, its a long job of course and I can remember when I asked for the four litres of paint, the supplier asked was I spraying a bus? as two litres will normally cover the cars outside.
