Well ive owned the car now since mid september, and ive only looked at the battery bay once when i poked it with a stick to check for rot holes.
well i started cleaning the engine bay today and then gave the battery bay a little clean.

and its rust free :) for saying how much rust the car had im suprised it hasnt got any rust in the bay lol

yeah :) well when i bought the car, the old chap told me it was all rotted and has holes everywere. (i personaly only think he said that becuase he owned 2 nova's before and they both rotted in the battery bay) and i never cared to look when i got it.
