Little update.
Today I've disassembled the rear and front mechs, also I've polished the frond derailleur a little bit. Unfortunately one of the limit screws of the rear mech was broken in half (the screw head was missing completely) so I had to drill it out. Hopefully I'll find a matching screw - otherwise I'll retap the holes to match a litle bigger screw diameter and fit new screws. Front mech fortunately is complete and in good shape - just needed cleaning and little polishing.
I'm not going for a full mirror look so the polishing job is not perfect but it's a final effect I'm aiming for.
Here are couple photographs (front mech screws and springs are still bathing in rust remover so they're missing).
I also disassembled, cleaned and lightly polished the shifters.
