So as I am off for a couple days I decided to fiddle with the car.
Shes been sat since November so I gave her a quick clean to get all the grime off then decide to give the engine bay a clean.
Top of the list this god awful looking fuel rail

After an hour attacking it with the dremel she was looking much better

The left some deox gel on it for 6 hours cleaned it gave it 2 coats of 182 etch primer and due to having a fair amount of stonechip left............it had two coats of that as well

I then gave the rad a good rub down with a wire brush as well as the coolant cap to get rid of all the road grime and salt

Next was the head. Gave it a good clean with some foam gunk and then a good ole wire brush to bring her back to life

So after speaking to carl it seems that the complete part is only held on by 6 spot welds and seam sealent so this will be removed and treated to a proper job in summer due to it having the same thing on the driver side for now tho it gets treated
