I'd start with just cleaning the bay and take it from there. A step at a time, then you can see what really needs doing.

personally i'd spend the money on things that will make the car run and drive better. don't go too cosmetic until the car is sweet. thats my opinion but others may disagree

if was doing my bay i'd get the inlet polished, rocker cover polished, stainless intake pipe (with mandrel bend), head polished and then go from there...blue hoses i think look the nutz with polished bits. think ...joe project thread shows this :)
