It might be a trick of the camera, but that looks bent along the rear edge.
……..

I thought that, near to the levelling ball area. As you say, it may be an optimal delusion. 

Did someone say cranksensor?

OK - just my imagination

Trying to remember whether the ECU needs to see a cranksensor signal before it runs the pump.

You should see the rev counter needle move off the stop when cranking.

It does. Ignore to post 2 runs the pump for a split second. Then it remains off until the crank and cam sensors confirm correct rotation

There are two purple relays in the engine bay fuse box. One is the pump and one is the injector power. They can be swapped over for testing purposes, although in this case, replacing the pump is a reasonable first step.

Also remove that bracket with the ball on it... Not even GM arms came with that attached and you will need it

The original GM Wishbones had flat rivets on the ball joint but a lot of aftermarket wishbones had dome rivets. If the ball joint had been changed at some point, I’d expect the rivets to have been replaced with bolts.
If refurbishing, clean them up with a wire spinner and check for any stress cracks near to the rear horizontal bush and the ball joint. I refurbed mine with genuine GM rear bush and poly bushes on the front bush, but that was a few years back now. 

Conspiracy

Removed my bottom arms as i’m refreshing my suspension, if the arms were oem i was going to rebuild then with Polybushes & as i’m told the after market arms don’t last.

Upon removing I can’t see any part numbers or gm stamping or any other parts manufacture stamping. Are these likely to be oem or just another generic brand?

Licence

Renewed

Especially considering that the butcher who did it never bothered to tell the DVLA. So it's still down as a Datsun 

Technically it still is a Datsun, albeit with a different frock! 

That's only true if none of the structural panels were removed; as those include the roof and rear quarters, it's unlikely.
