The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Just an update. After further investigation, found that one of the steering rack mounts have fractured off due to age and corrosion. I see this is a common issue with the MK1. Getting it welded and purchased new bushes. Thought while I got it apart, may as well replace all front suspension bushes. Below are some pics. Will update once all sorted.
