Monteverdi Sierra: Random engine bay checks and cleaning

Previous time I sprayed the entire engine bay with WD40. I had done this to uplift the looks and as some kind of rust prevention. This is what it looks now

Compare that with the view when we just bought it:

Not a lot happened since. At the time Jos checked the basics and a lot of things were ok though. see these blogs:

I'm now eager to get the engine running again. So next time around I want to check if it sparks. And I want to clean the carburettor ultrasonic and give it a new service kit. If it sparks and the gas mixture is ok it should simply start.

Another thing I already had checked was the color of the engine bay. I think by Dodge factory default it's in the same body color. See this example:

So Monteverdi simply resprayed the engine bay entirely black (by now after all those years the Original brown color is become visible again). I suspect for this activity they must have removed all parts in the engine bay. When doing further checking I noticed some items had missing screws or broken/damaged/replaced.

Missing screw, or is this mounted only with 1 screw and glued by factory default:

Broken screw on a radiator cover plate:

Missing screw, by the looks of it there has been one:

Another one missing, or factory default?

Air intake, different screws and one broken/missing:

Next I noticed some of the "vacuum hoses" had been topped off with screws. I suspect they must have experienced some issue's with it. It's a common fix/trick:

And wow, look at how this battery cable is extended via a huge crown stone:

I also noticed the window washer hose was sprayed brown. I figured that when the montverdi bonnet cover was created/fixed over the Original bonnet it of course had to be sprayed in the same Original body color. So that explains how the black hose got brown.
