After looking at those I think mine has a fair way to go. Plenum and exhuast heat shield are gonna cop a coat of black paint when I get round to it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

New Overflow bottles all round - Blacken the black stuff and polish the metal. Degreaser and elbow grease on everything else. New radiator caps are simple and effective.
