Title: '83 Thruster Tri Power
Post by: Andy68 on June 01, 2012, 07:27 PM

Got this finished today, built as a survivor with parts from the haul the other week (F&F, padset etc) & parts already owned. My fave so far........  :smitten:

Great build, always liked the dropouts on those and the Quicksilvers and the quality touches on the Thruster really standout like the brake bridge and the extra strengthening tube  :smitten:
