Would Love too but with my insurance currently costing me £194 a month on a 1.2 i dont think it would be a very wise move on my part

Do the simple, sand it all down, underseal it, fiberglass over the top and then underseal it again. Make it look professional and say you had done professionally etc.

As for the rear cyclinder they are only £10 off ebay. Handbrake will probably be the cable or just need adjusting, impossible to say without trying tbh.

I wouldn't bother buying out else till it's totally fucked
