Where can I get new bottom end bearings?
And measure the ovality of the offending conrod that had the worn bearing,quite often the hammering caused by the rod banging up and down on the freeplay knocks the rod oval,this is repairable but you,d need to strip the engine to remove it.

Advice required
if you keep it bud hire a de humidifier,it will draw most of the moisture out,take the seats apart and put the covers in the washing machine or get a leather kit.it will be quite a bit of work changing all the fluids etc but its a nice car, and id probaly fit new wheel bearings too,moisture will wreck them in no time.

new door rubbers, still leaking

Best man speech...
when i do speeches i never mention what you did years ago as most people dont give a shit tbh,unless the story is prime material dont use it,people will be bored in no time,you have around 7 minutes on average before people get bored,use it to rip him to shreds its what best men do and thats what its all about,just spend the time mocking him,make sure you pause between gags,gains you time and makes your speech look longer,wait for the audience to stop laughing before continuing,if a gag goes bad swiftly move on.

whos running a puck style clutch?
Ive had one for years now,it will wear quick with day to day use but i got mine refurbed quite cheap,bottle of JD cheap,they can be a pain in traffic if im honest as the urgency takes some getting used to.Once youve done some miles youll get used to the on off nature.If i was closer mate id let you drive mine.

Open inlet turbos....no filters (with wire mesh)

gt 525s from z1,bolt on fitment and good for nigh on 500hp.No faffing about just bolt up,never as good as larger tubs with 5 bolt exits but more than capable and i have quite a few members running around the country who ive fitted them for and they were all impressed,a good tub for the money.Nobody in this country supplies an equal stock fixing tub with its capabilities.

Turbo abnormality?
Yeah i read that matey but which pic is the right one if you get my drift.Is the first the larger or the second ? is the first one smaller with the wheel the right size or the second one smaller with an even smaller wheel ??
-
Turbo abnormality?
I would say the compressor wheel is wrong too,the clearance down the side is massive in the second pic,and is the nut missing ? get a core from Z1 mate,be cheaper.

How do I prep to paint?
rubbing down rust and priming wont keep it at bay,you need to treat the metal with an agent that converts the corroded ares back to metal like jenolite etc bud,any pits need filling,dont use filler its porus,people have told me that fibre fill is best,its meant for bridging gaps but dries water tight.
