Was having a chat one day With Boo Boo about making a small C5 type vehicle for my 3 year old Luke who enjoy's coming along to the C5Alive events. Well look what has come my way a small electric vehicle from the early 70's ready to be transformed into C2.5 - A massive thank you to Boo Boo for this :

That's shaping up nicely mate 8). When he shows off his blinged up "ride" down at the nursery, Luke will be the envy of all his "homies" ;D
Nice to see it being worked on, I think Luke would be a teenager before I managed to get round to sorting it.
Let me know if you need anything for it :)

That looks cool 8)
Like a little frog or bug or something similar ;D

I've moved this across to the Gallery section so it doesn't get lost :)
How are you getting on with it ?
-
Slowly - haven't had too much spare time as I have been working weekends - was hoping to have it ready for Dunstable but not too sure - will post some more photo's when i get chance to have another bash at it.It is going to be great fun for Luke - he keeps telling me to get the seat back on so he can go cruising !!!!!

Just need to work on the foot pedal as it is getting a bit warm then add a C5 rear light , hi vis mask and graphics - re-pad the seat and we are away. Good fun

That is such a great movie clip, Luke's smile says it all - he has the "C5 grin" !
;D

Great stuff, I felt like that the first time I had a go on a C5 ;D

Had another look at the electrics today as the footpedal switch was getting rather warm and found someone had done a bit of 'improvise , adapt and overcome as the switch was making via a two pence !!! - first switch showing the original switch and the second the new replacement 100amp jobbie !!!
