Managed to drop the body, front panel, front mudguard, headlight housing and fork cover piece off to the spray shop today. Tony the painter suggested the body be vapour blasted to remove the surface rust. He's going to straighten the big dent in the aluminium front panel.
I also dropped the frame, plus ancillary parts, into the powdercoating place. The frame came home with me again because the lower bushes needed taking out before it goes in the oven. I ripped them free with a big screwdriver and a mallet, only to discover they were held in by the grease nipples. Another intelligent, effective design overpowered by ham-fisted idiot and brute force.
