Nice work Digit.
Hope you get it all back together.
Btw, another lump to consider would be the OHC 1.7 litre that Renault put in the Monaco.
It's N/A so would poss be cheaper to insure than a turbo lump, and the Monacos were cracking little cars to drive, very eager and no turbo lag to annoy you.
Keep up the good work mate.

Yes.
May I ask why you are removing the gear linkage and brake lines etc?

removing everything to respray the car completely (inside, outside, engine bay and underneath - similar to what the ford boys do) and get all the suspension powdercoated etc

Your really ripping that thing apart, make sure you keep motivated. I did a similar thing with my old Corsa, not to the same extent but got fed up and got shut of it.

Great attention to detail; had my school not forced me to do computing instead of mechanics then I would have ended up like you 
Taking her apart is relatively simple (for the mostpart) I would guess, it's just putting her all back together is the hardest part. Wish I had the time you have to do my Corsa in such detail 
Keep up the good work mate, you're doing exceptionally well.
