nothing like novas then, all inside the boot n stuff like that and chassis legs n stuff, atleast it seems like its all cosmetic and an easy fix if it does have rust in these spots 
i will be changing the cam belt, tensioners and head gasket when i get it as soon as i get some tools back
cheers for the advice lads
