Have a look on e bay for the rear light lenses, I got my rear box from autoparts for £59 and fitted it myself, mine is a mK2 UNO so urs maybe cheaper.
The rear brake drums are notorious for not working correctly.
Do a search on this forum and you will find plenty of advice.
You need to prise off the drum with a large driver and hammer as they get stuck on tight as the drum forms a lip from wear.

what is usualy the cause of it, it may help me in resolving it, i have noted that one of the pads are a bit ridgy dont know if they should be. I have been through ebay and ther is no rear lights or a nearside headlight, and guess what no zorst

If the rear drums are of the same design as on mine you will find a lever type bar on at the top of the shoes which becomes seized
If you strip the whole assembly down and use some lubricating/ penetrating fluid on all the components and agitate the lever until it is free this will help.
You may have to change the shoes , when I changed mine although they were not very low the new ones made a great difference.
Check the handbrake cable too and lubricate all the pulley wheels and spring tensioners.
Hopefully u have a haynes book for full reference.
A scrappy yard is the next place to go for your spare parts they always have a few unos around.
Like I said search the forum for handbrake as the info here is in great detail with diagrams too from other members who are more knowledgeable than me.
Good luck
Pete
