Fuuuuuuuuck, truth is, it looks like s**t! but i like how you are making an effort to fix it up. As mention above, Fixed that cancer (rust). buy some chemical s**t and wipe that s**t off, degrease in DETAIL your engine bay, use at least 3 types of brushes, including a tootbrush. dont be afraid to take off parts. also if there is any oil leaks due to poor gaskets, fix them. also, dont be afraid to replace any of the parts in the bay. i would suggest to paint the HONDA lettering on the valve cover black. make it pop up and blend with the surroundings. also clean the hood. looks like a couple of days work, good luck.
