    lol its got a bit of rust at the top and it did have rust ! , well i sanded off the chunkyish rust then used a stelo pad , thos hairy metal pad things that have soap on them and just scrubbed it down with that , until it looked mint then i put on the car and has been like that ever since , might give it another once over soon

    heres when i first got the car ! , i wish i had a proper camera to use at the time to get the pics :(

    Looks the same as the one on my auto ST162. Are those fog lights on each side of the number plate? Did the car come with them?

    yeap the yellow one is for the fogs , blue is for the headlight motor switch , orange for the leds , and the BIG black thick wire is the positive wire going to the boot for the battery

    My valve covers have no rust. Thought they were aluminium lol. Going to polish mine, along with the strut/firewall brace.

    I've never seen rust on the valve cover, not even on my rusty auto! I'm going to polish my vavle cover also, i reckon it looks hot.

    I decided to put the filter in backwards, so It can act as a resivour letting any oil or crap sit in the plastic cut area or drain back into the engine
