engine cover bit...
i don't know what it is called, so I shall describe it. The engine hood has slots above it (under the rear window) and these let air into the
engine. behind this grill (inside) there is a shelf with slots init to let the air through, but to keep the rain etc out. This shelf is VERY badly
rusted, and needs to be removed and replaced before the whole thing rusts (the engine caught fire, I couldnt get into this area to clean it up, and it
has all just rusted away.
Has anyone done this and have any idea what is involved? How much would a replacement bit cost, and can it be had?
