Are the shocks worth keeping? That depends - if they are holding oil I dont see any reason why not!
I'd scrape all that underseal off unless you know it's history - see what mysteries are lurking beneath

Loving yer workshop fella - reminds me of years gone by in the pouring rain, Suzuki in pieces, me trying to offer up a gearbox while lying in a huge puddle of freezing water... ahhh, happy memories
Fancy Pressure washing the chassis to get some of that underseal off?
At worst you'd need to plate or patch a few holes, or chop some rot out.....

You have the exact same floodlight thing as me! "Borrowed" from work
Then again I also borrowed a brick garage workshop from work! All good other than the lack of power but I have a petrol genny for that,
My shocks look much worse than that believe me!

looks heavily undersealed, and been there a while too. dont scrape it off, use a pin hammer and start at one end and work to the other. nice ring sound is what your after, the deeper the thud the grottier it is, until its replaced by the crisp packet sound as the hammer dissapears into it. like you dont know that tho, from the bulkhead.....
keep stripping till the bulkhead comes off, then we'll know what we're playing with.
if the shocks aint leaking, should pass mot. how solid/spongy are they?
personally, i'd keep em'.

i just dont know if they are working as they should along with the leaf springs or not - its a rough hard ride (or was when going over speed bumps etc) and thought for just over £45 i could change them all for them britpart ones from paddocks, but there again i am looking into the gas ones and even a 2" lift but have some research to do yet on that... but while i had the wheels off and doing rejuvinating the leaf springs thought that anything that goes on there would make it better........
