Thanks for the response @OldnDecrepit, the blue powder coating certainlty makes it stand out. I am looking for a more original finish so will look for a silver grey color.
Taking teh lid off shows a cleaner underside, when next home will call into a local paint supplier. Was there last week to get prices and they can have a look and supply a match in a spray pack.
Something must have gone wrong with a battery in teh past, before I purchased the car. The battery tray was removed and a replacment from another car was included, need to be welded in. I would like to first get the car running then remove and repaint the engine bay, along with teh rst of the car.
