Did you sand and paint the 518-h?  That looks nice.  If possible, please post an explanation of your painting method on this new restoration.  

What is up with the headlight tunnels?  I don't think I have seen that before.

i made the headlight tunnels myself. the painting will be sanding down till the rust is gone, then i will prime it, then i will paint it in a red that will suit it. the 518-H's paint was like that when i bought it. i had to restore the engine and dials. its a powerful machine and it sounds nice.
