I fully understand and wish you well but would it not have been better to have sold it (looked a tidy car) and bought a 2litre that would have given you a bigger engine and rear disc brakes, I paid £80 for my 3 door £200 for the 5 door so very cheap at the moment. To do anything with the front brakes you will need st170 hubs so buying an st and selling the wheels would have been a good move.
All is what could have been, will keep an eye out for updates
