not a lot to look at...

...but money is tight at the moment and poor weather makes working on it pretty hard. this summer she's getting some attention. not a full strip down,but just a damn good service,rust removal and respray.

whilest im here,i would like some advice also if i could pick your brains anyone? as you may notice the back end is pretty low,and it bounces like a trampoline. new suspension is next on the to-do list once ive fitted a new clutch,but am unsure of which to get and how much im likely to pay...? i will be keeping original steel wheels,but would like to lower by about 30-40 mm and make it a lot stiffer. any suggestions and sources?
as some of you may know from a previous thread,i am replacing the steering rack also,probably at the same time,so a source for one of those would also be appreciated if anyone knows of such a thing...?

is this modification common? seems to be some kind of header tank going to the radiator...

also,when i had it jacked up to inspect the steering mechanism i noticed that my front wheels were very stiff to spin. so...in the coming months i will be replacing the wheel bearings,discs,calipers,drums etc... but as you may have guessed i have no clue where to get them from. any help appreciated!!! thanks for looking,and thanks in advance for any help.
