I done the same as you and mine looks good too . One thing that did concern me was there is a piece of insulation in the engine compartment that runs from halfway down the strut tower to underneath the brake booster that butts up against the firewall near the plate. I pulled the corner of it up and it was soaked . Looks like the rain runs down between the bonnet and windscreen onto the insulation then has knowhere to go which is a bit of a worry. It might pay you to have a look under the insulation to see if any rust has taken hold.Well well what a disturbing post this is.
I got my decent torch out, pulled that part back exposing the metal, and all there is on my VE is black painted metal with absolutely NO sign of rust.
Am I lucky perhaps? The car has been garaged most of it's life except when being away, but has of course been out in the rain at times over the years.
