I do love a senny!

Was it rust that did for 'em?

No, clutch failure. In those days I regarded a clutch change as beyond me. It took JamesV6CDX to persuade me I could change a clutch, which is of course what I was changing in the picture above, not the gearbox. My thanks to JamesV6CDX, and to Doctor Gollum for much advice as well.

Yes, it's often nervousness/lack of faith in your own ability that's the barrier to doing a job. Once it's done, you wonder what all the fuss was about. 

The garage/workshop in the pic of you with the gearbox looks a nice setup! Other than the golfing bats ruining the ambiance obviously.

I've done waterpump on K series 1.6, and easy enough. Hardest bit, as you found, is locking the crank to undo pulley bolt.  There is a special tool, but a crowbar in the flywheel is similar.
