Thanks guys.
As Nathan would attest, I'm just slightly obsessed with the act of cleaning things.

I still have three wheel arches and the whole underbody of the car to go, though. There's lots of mess ahead.
Thanks for driving by, Bill. I was observing the Sabbath for a short while, then I promptly returned to the planned task.

I removed the rear struts and cleaned them up before bringing them inside for a thorough inspection. I need to replace both bellows and balljoints on these. The bellows were good until I jacked up the car with the suspension setting in the normal position, they promptly split.
The balljoints were an amusing sight, here. There was some sort of sedimentary rock forming in the recess in the trailing arm, meaning that the balljoints were buried somewhat.
I now have the full compliment of struts ready for refurbishment.
When the car has been reassembled, it will be almost ready for registration.
Here are some pics of the rear struts...
