Thanks for your comments everyone.
I think it looks worse than it is. Hopefully, most of it will clean up OK, but there are still quite a few patches to be done!
I'll post more piccies when I have them.

Update:
Engine and gearbox are out. Heads are off in readyness for Unleaded conversion. A nosey around inside and it looks like the 29k on the clock is genuine!
Rest of engine bay being cleared out ready for shot-blasting.
No piccies (sorry).
Anybody know where to get a pair of engine mounts and a gearbox mount (the round one that goes through the tail of the gearbox)? Might as well get them replaced while I have access to everything.

An update on progress - with pictures:
The 'custom bumper' is just to make it easier to shift around the workshop - it's making way for the re-chromed original to return.
Engine Bay, Inner Wings etc, after shot-blasting with a coat of primer:
Shot blasting didn't reveal any extra rust thankfully!
Still need some work on the sills:
Cleaned up and ready for paint:
On it's way to a nice coat of 'Ford Engine Blue'.
