That looks like a real bitsa!
Not very much actual TC3 left on that. Even things like the arms and hubs look a bit different, but I don't know what car they have come from, and that rear hub setup is very unusual.
Personally speaking, I'd be wary of spending too much on putting "TC3" bits on it because they might not fit. Best place to find them is eBay or the "old stock" boxes in the back of model shops. I'd try and sell it on and get something a bt more current with better spares availability and fewer "specialist" modifications, I can see lots of hassle for you in the future with that one when it goes wrong.
As far as the wheel nuts go, they are imperial, you need an 11/32" driver to tighten them, the thread is also different to the metric M4 nuts. It's a 8-32 nut, you can get them as a spare as they are still used by some AE cars.
