After several scrapings away at the rust between overnight applications of fresh naval jelly for about a week, this is how it looks:

Epic work.

All back together again, working and MOT aquired. All it needed was rear brake adjustment and a new windscreen washer motor which the garage asked me to do because they were too busy and they can't order bits for severiously old cars or bodge modern parts to fit old motors.
