UPDATE: I have upped the RAM to 128MB (thanks Byrd!) and have installed USB (Byrd again) but this won't run as I'm still on 7.6.1. It already had Ethernet, so that's all good.
I've also been able to source a Sonnet G3 L2 400MHz card from Classic (cheers, arrived today!) but haven't installed this yet. He was kind enough to make a CD with the drivers, so this process should be very straight forward.
I also was able to source another TAM, this one boots to the login screen and then freezes with an Address Error or mainly a Bus Error. It has the little panels that mine was missing, so I now have a more complete TAM. Oh, and it came with the disks they originally shipped with, and interestingly, 2 copies of the System Software disks. I spent quite a bit of time on this last month and was able to rule out HDD, cache and RAM, and 4.5V battery, and couldn't boot off a CD either.
Anyway, I'll use my Christmas break to get everything up to date and rolling the way it should have this time last year. Max RAM, decent processor, yee haw!
