Default S3 see's the light of day.

After a brief play on Sarj's yesterday I though I'd get the old girl out and see what's what.

Seized clutch, rear caliper, not working indicators, crappy paint, missmatched fairing, wheels and belly pan, so some work to do, but splashed a bit of juice in her and dropped in a battery and she fired right up..........Sweet.



Cheers Mark.

Turn the S3 to a trackbike, I'd say. With plenty of bungs and crappy fairing, and those rearsets (assuming?), go and have some fun!
