The under bonnet chicken wire mesh is a screen to reduce radio interference from the ignition system.
We had an enjoyable holiday in Malta in 1991, it was full of MK1 Escorts, Anglias etc.
I even saw a Ford Thames van on Gozo.
I was told by a local that there were large import taxes for cars, but no MOT tests.
Flushing the radiator and engine is easy, and essential in a hot country where the cooling system has to work well to avoid overheating.
cheers,
