Rizzo's list isn't as daunting as it may seem, it's just basic stuff, any haynes or other such book on the viva will walk you through anything you need to do , to b honest, just a quick search on the 'net will pull up a step by step service guide.
As for oil filters, and Im assuming it's a OHV engine as you mention the housing, then just get a chevette one off ebay, there's loads to choose from for around a fiver
It's the paper element type you're looking for.
As for the housing being 'horrible', do you mean dented and damaged? cos if it's not damaged just clean it up and paint it.
