not hard......you can get a kit for all doors, tailgate, fuel cap and barrel for little outlay. Its about 2hrs work, not hard, just pop off and on. Door locks can be fiddly if you dont twist it right.
The steering arm is the part between rack and track rod end, threaded bar.
The bottom A arm, suspension arm, track arm, wishbone or whatever you care to call it is nowt to do with steering or tracking as its not adj.
There is no fanbelt.

Carbs will work, and many people retro fit carbs to modern injection engines for installation simplicity and cost when they stick the motors in classic or non OE cars.
The easiest way to get them running is to use one of the available DCOE flange manifolds, use a adj pressure reg before the...
ITG has a larger filter element and has the bonus of not tearing itself after a year. Just better quality. And it wont be making any less bhp than say a viper or BMC.
95 is fine, dont worry about anything.
In an ironic way, 95 RON is more combustable and will release more energy than 98.

The hydraulic system can be cleaned by removing the tappet inners and using thinners etc etc.
But have a look around at mounts, nuts/heat shields as they can make noises similar to that and are far easier to...
They can rust sitting there.
And for general knowledge, discs dont warp as such....i,e, they dont encounter an even concave/convex profile on one point.
No point, all oils already have EPAs that work better than the solid suspension PTFE.
PTFE aint bad, just crap in this method of use, it needs to be sintered/alloyed to bearing sufaces.
IIRC a while back nick voiced his opinion that a lower rear has a more stable attitude. Always another angle on things, ask him what his preffered choice is.
They were VERY good, and all you really need, fiddling about with suspension settings doesnt really get most people anywhere because they dont know the reasons for changes.
