Hi again Ric,
Either Adam Higgins down in Gippsland or Keith Love of TinWest in Werribee will make you a set of guards. Even if you buy expensive ratty guards they will cost you more to get them fixed. The simplest & quickest solution is to just get a new set of guards made without all the mucking about.
As for wheels start off by having a chat with David in at Modaks.
You live in Melbourne, one of the most restoration friendly cities in the world. You can get anything done there.
Cheers,
