I have been working mostly at my bikes lately, but last two weeks I have dedicated to on my A40,
I have sandblast the wheels, painted engine bay, and polished the water cooler and other details.
I also renovated the braking system, with new gummy seals and brake hoses.
Unfortunately I have a leak at clutch hose who comes from the brake reservoir down to the master cylinder, I will make new hose next week

As the radiator was brush painted black very ruff in the past, I decided sand and spray it, but suddenly I saw some nice metal shining through.
