I have put LBB up on jack stands and removed the wheels, so as to get a close look at the brakes and suspension. I'm not sure what I have, but it looks like the suspension has been upgraded. Also, the brake hoses appear to be relatively new.
I'd welcome comments (+ve or -ve) on the following photos: what do you see? I'm not sure what's original and what's new.

Unrelated questions:
I've replaced the PO's fuel pump hoses, mounting and fuel filter. There are two fuel filters: one near the pump, and one in the engine compartment. Should I remove the one in the engine compartment? It seems like overkill to have two.
The PO started to sand down the bonnet/hood and obviously lost interest. Thus parts of the edges are down to bare metal, with a little coating of rust. I want to cover the bare metal, and figure I can temporarily sand out the rust, spray on some primer, and then spray the whole thing with a few rattle cans of gloss blue. Comments on that plan?
