First the questions then we'll get to the free offer.

1) Took out my battery tonight to investigate my battery box damage.  
The thing is pretty rusty, and rusted through on the corner closest to 
the engine.  I know you can buy boxes to go in there and I will, but 
before I install it how should I treat the existing metal?  I don't want 
to leave it rusting away there.  Unless I don't understand rust, it will 
keep on going unless treated, right?  Someone told me to make a box out 
of fiberglass but I would think you would need a rust free surface to 
start with.

2) Does anyone of you guys with parts cars have a working washer 
bottle/hose assembly.  I know this is minor but it bugs me that 
something isn't working on my car.  The top of my bottle has broken off 
and the hose won't quite reach it any more anyway.  

3) Engine valances.  What good are they?  My radiator valances are still 
a work in progress.  (machine shop 50 miles from car doesn't help)  But 
at least I see the purpose of them.  Engine valances are a mystery to 
me.  Maybe because I've never seen a spit with them on.

thanks o'knowledgeable ones
