Front end rebuild

Last day of my 2 week break from work. Since returning from melbourne i have stripped down the front end and begun inspecting/cleaning/painting all the individual bits. One thing i did notice was damage to the left side castor rod mount on the subframe. It appears that when the accident occured the wheel hit something and pushed the castor rod forward. This slightly twisting where it bolts to the subframe. So i sent the subframe to Pearce & Taylor that have since told me its only minor and won't be difficult to return to original specs.

Parts i plan to replace are:
Both wheel bearings, as the right side one is completely stuffed and the left side is a bit rumbly
Castor rods, with adjustable ones from Just Jap
Maybe new adjustable upper links that control camber

I have also started refitting components to the engine bay such as:
Brake and clutch boosters
Brake and clutch master cylinders
Wiper motor

Its all looking mint as everything has been cleaned before i put it back on
