Like the CD changer the alarm was wired in a similar way, OEM loom cut and wires just twisted round, the track for the OEM wiring was also damaged and seated correctly.

I repaired all the cables, removed items that were not working and re-set the control unit so it now works correctly. The wiring was all tracked accordingly and the big block of fuses under the bonnet was removed and relocated to the correct place. For security reasons I'm not going to post the pics of that work.
Also while working on the alarm system, I found another old alarm system that was laying under the carpet and wasnt removed, with cut wires and bare ends.
But now under the hood looks the way it should:

After inspecting the calipers I decided the best method was to remove them all.
The calipers were coated in 3 colours of paint and took quite some time to strip back:
This is what I ended up with after stripping
This is how they looked after the spraying:
I'll return to the brakes fully completed and installed later.
On the interior of this car were some panel hole, carpet stains and so on.
The centre console had various holes cut out
I installed a new panel and plugged the hole on the centre console
Cabin temp sensor was pretty clogged up and dirty:
