My new L3 track bike/road bike
Bought this L3 about 2 months ago for £300. My in tensions are to make it into a track bike but also put a day time mot on it.
Here is a pic of when I bought it (looks way better than it actually is)
So far I have stripped it down a bit painted the frame and swing arm, I had a spare so painted that one.
Then fitted the painted swing arm, put the tank & carbs back on so I could start it up as it has a blowing exhaust which I've got to fix.
I'm going to use the original nose cone and side fairings as I'm trying to do it on a budget, I'm going to fill the headlight hole on the nose cone.

Little more progress today!
Think the water pump is broken so will have to replace that now.

As I'm doing it on a budget I've filled over the headlight hole and indicator holes on the nose cone. Here is some pics of it in primer.
