from memory, and I may be wrong, I think in order to remove the sump you have to undo the bolts for the oil pick up pipe and then pop the pipe out the fitting is in, as otherwise the baffle plate stops you removing the sump..

Maybe drop Joe @ FCSS a message as he will know for sure how to proceed

Cheers Jamie

Yes two ways to drop the sump, one is removing the pickup strainer, 2x 6mm that hold the pipe to the pump and a 3rd bolt holding it to the mains cap on number 3, drop that off and you might be able to wiggle the sump past the subframe.
The other method is lowering the subframe down at the front, for this you might need to remove the o/s drive shaft and the alloy support bracket, either way it's a pig of as job on axle stands.

Thanks guys, a couple of things to try 😊

Hope the rest goes smoothly Mags

Sitting on my workbench

Your disks came out well after an acid bath. Not seen that before.

One of them has some pitting, although not very deep. I’m curious to how it’s going to turn out.

Where do these go?

I don’t remember, and the other side is taken apart as well…

The square holes have white clips that push into them for self tapping screws to go into.
The 2 lower clip things on the right slot into the slot on the brake hose to secure it where it passes through a hole - possibly in the strut?
Not sure about the upper thing on the right.

The clip in the top right screws to to body using the square hole and the u shape section is where the ABS wire clips on.
I think the rubber grommet is for the wires to the brake pads but the wires have probably been cut off many years ago.

What 17” wheels will clear the Brembo calipers? The ones I got, definitely don’t….

I'd need to get Countrycruising to remind me of the details but I'm sure the solution to my own 17s involved spacers.

The Brembos had just been refurbed and 'someone' had refitted the wheel without the spacer, scoring lines all over the freshly-done caliper

These 17" Momo Sports clear with no spacers required (but wobble bolts are)
