 In order, it seemed easiest to remove the right and left side pieces first, then you get a (little bit) better access to the remaining corner screws of the rear engine tin. Obviously with the engine still in the car I did //not// look to remove the other pieces of tinware which are on the front/gearbox side of the engine.

+Clearly, very, very rusty. But fortunately there are no major holes - only certain of these pieces seem to be available from new (at least in 2022), so if you had to replace them all it would either be very expensive, or rather difficult to track down old stock. I'll be media blasting them and repainting before refitting.
 With the engine tin out, there's much better access to the upper (inlet) valve/spark plug area, so it makes sense to change plugs, replace cam cover gaskets and do any valve adjustments at the same time. In my case I've got a bit of a leak from the right hand, lower cover, so I'll be replacing all gaskets, checking valves and repainting the covers before I refit them.

+Blower motors are fine, but dirty and a little corroded, so they were stripped down, cleaned, new screws and washers fitted and given a coat of clear lacquer to try to keep them from rusting any further:
