I will try and think of something more interesting, but in the mean time my bestest tip is with regards to rust.
Serious rust starts from the inside and works its way out. This is because water will form inside unventilated box sections like dew.
Spray Waxoil or some other well regarded automotive rust inhibitor, on the inside of box sections using 100 psi. This substance will never fully cure, but will remain flexible, providing and air free seal and water proofing the inside of the box section.
It will even span unpainted welds and brown rust, halting further corrosion. Spray in as much as possible!
Make sure any water that enters a box section can escape. Otherwise rust bubbles will start to appear through the paint, by which time it is too late.
On an e-type, charts have been produced showing where to spray, however they can be summarized as the inner bullhead void, A post, B post sills, inside the engine frames (difficult) boot floor and rear wheel arches.
If you do not own the kit, get someone like Rustbusters to do it for you.
