Thanks all, some top tips there.

Having had a good read around I think the rust treatment ‘best’ solution could probably be a forum in itself!

Definitely going to strip back as many panels as possible and try and get a good look in at everything. I was thinking of cleaning everything up and then a liberal couple of coatings of Rustoleum Rust Reformer to kill off the rust then, after it’s all dried, Waxoyl once a year or so. Although I’ve read how waxoyl can be an asre to apply so I’m happy to be corrected if people think that’s a daft plan!

Also - those links for the clips are much appreciated, definitely going to stock up as my delicate panel removal skills are slim to none...

Nice. What is that on the bonnet, some kind of sticker?

No, the last owner attached a thin sheet of checker plate. Apparently stopped his rifle bipod twitching when shot off the bonnet!
