The only additional work I've done since the above is to fit a battery isolator (the type that fits to the negative battery terminal) and a replacement longer earth lead (12" vs the original 9") from the terminal to the body which is needed to reach it. Much more convenient than having to remove the lead when leaving the car sitting for more than a week or two to avoid battery drain.
Before fitting the new earth lead, with the battery in its current state, I would just get clicking when trying to start and have to resort to a battery pack. With the new earth lead fitted she starts on first turn of the key. Whether this was because the old bare lead was internally corroded (visually it looked fine) or because I went for the heaviest gauge cable I could find (rated for 345 amps) and there is now less voltage drop I don't know.

Sorry for the delay in replying, I've been away for a while.
I haven't had much opportunity to use the car since it came back from the bodyshop but I'll update on impressions later in the summer.
