make sure they sort that scuttle and the pass side chassis rail in engine bay where exhaust manifold sits
heat burns paint off and it will rot through
can you not get some shite wheels on it while its having the work done or do the brakes prevent that just to protect those rims .
lookin good

Yup paint them, i would be tempted to have the front window cut out and the scuttle replaced or sanded down as its possible that the rust has crept under the window bond and will just come back out.
