Nice progress and fun video to watch. About your front suspension, yes you could easily have a bent vertical link, John Durant posted a while back on the tricks he used to straighten them. I'm not sure you've talked about it but the upper ballpoints are for a later car, late-TR4 through TR6. To use that setup your lower Trunnions should be from a late TR4 as well as the arrangement builds in castor to suspension.

Interesting. That looks like a TR4A front suspension, but perhaps you already know that.
I use a SawzAll to partially cut through those spring bushings, makes them much easier to get out.
Yes, the two extra bits on the rear spring are for the passenger side to make the car (possibly) sit level with the driver in place. It is somewhat counter-intuitive that adding spacers makes the body sit lower - but that's the nature of an underslung suspension.
