No professionally,

Front looks ok. Just needs a cleanout inside and the boot might leak a bit of water.

Overhauled rear brake calipers with new pistons,seals and slide pins.

Those come up nice. Sand blast the parts?

 

[grey_hawk]

No, I soaked them overnight in a citric acid solution.
It seems to work well for alloy and gets rust off too.

Care to share the recipe or stuff you use please?

 

[grey_hawk]

I buy citric acid powder from a local health food shop for about $9.00 a KG and mix about 6 table spoons in water.
If you wanted to remove heavier rust probably add more,those calipers I ran a hand wire brush over after rinsing with normal water and then sprayed them with caliper paint.
I didn't use sand blasting as it was too fiddly (I was too lazy) to mask up the cylinders and the compressor shat itself so was sort of plan B.
