I should have thrown in part numbers from the Victoria British catalogue:

Rear Trunnion suspension kit: 5-320  pg 124 in the summer catalogue
Major front suspension kit: 5-303 pg 118

>From top photo down:

First photo:
Rear trunnion suspension kit (minor)

Second & Third photos:
Major front suspension kit Left side and Right side.. Can't tell which is
which from the photos but the bronze metal piece should either have a R or a
L stamped on it.

Fourth photo:

Odds and ends here:

Cable is the handbrake cable that goes to the handbrake lever inside the car
The four studs look like the studs that go into the rear differential that
the spring then goes down on.
The two large rubber cylinders look like the front differential mounting
rubbers
The spring looks like a door handle spring
The switch looks like a reverse light switch for the transmission
The metal bracket looks like what a new spring ships with to keep the top
center piece attached until the spring is installed (otherwise it falls off)
The two metal cylinders look like spring bushings
The circular plastic piece is also for the door handle

Hope that helps!!

My car came with a boot load of new parts.  Some of which I don't know what
they are, but are at least suspension parts.  Specifically what pieces they
are is the question.  Please go to the link and take a look and see if you
can identify what I've got.
