I had this when I was around 40, used to work in a garage that did a lot of mods for cars.it started off as a brand new 1.4 sport, then a 1.6 on throttle bodies then a 2lt 16v and then finally 2ltr turbo with 240 BHP. It had stripped out interior , big brakes carbon bonnet and no diff so was a handful but fun.

In the 3rd pic it looks like it's the heat shield that's rusty.

When they were at their worst yea, this was some years ago ,they were a right mess when the skin used to split.I think what made it worse was working in cold places , garages,freezer units , and outside.

I used to get them so bad that my fingers would grow to twice the size and the skin would split, they were terrible. I used chilblain ointment and it seemed to ease them a bit. I still get them now but not as bad because I always try to keep my hands warm as much as possible. That's why I got muffs for my bike to help keep them warmer.

check to see if the plug lead is pushed all the way onto the spark plug , if it's still sparking everywhere try a new lead

Good old vauxhall, cost about a grand to drop the turbo in and running only have to make 1 engine mount and modifying bits from other vauxhalls. You could make a right sleeper for about 1500 quid .
