Thanks in advance.

Change fuel filter while its dead easy, if it needs doing.

You've not mentioned bushes.

Remember the nylon/plastic thrust washers at either end of your bushes.

A quick weekend job can quite easily have you car off the road for ages, leave it til the winter, enjoy this weather we are having it may not last

Thinking of doing this as well, although I think my wishbones are ok bare surface rust so will just get em shot blasted.

I'm assuming I'll need to have the geometry reset on the car if i change wishbones, bushes, ARB links etc?

I did a cosmetic overhaul of suspension and brakes. The only thing that had defititely perished were the track rod ends, not expensive and could save you an MOT failure.
Whilst the car is up you will start poking at the chassis / outriggers so some cleaning products, drill wire wheels and some painting / protection products may come in useful. I also re-painted the wheel arches and replaced the brakes. Have a look at my post 'Wheel arch refurb' for a bit more info, plenty other threads from other people on here too.

Mine is in the garage having wishbone rubbers changed and will have a full geometry check before I get it back, on the recommendation of the Master Spannerwielder,
