Hi did a little work on the C5 today .Take a look ..

Motor striped down checked then cleaned repacked with grease (it's in very good condition and no wear on the gearbox teeth ) Rebuilt and fitted it With an 18mm belt ..
Also changed the battery stop with a new one ..And fitted an original horn





Also removed and replaced the battery strap and fittings And replaced them with new one's ..



And here is the Key switch and boot lock that I will be fitting later on ..

Hi there Luke I always strip them down clean/replace any items that are no good and then rebuild them backup .Looking and working Like new ..

More work done .As you will see that the wiring has been finnished and is now being bench tested (seems to be ok )...But it will need a good test run when finished . Not long now before it's finnished .And on to the next

Ok now it has been completed .The rear wheel covers have not been fitted yet as it is a bit tight between the doors to get it out 
.All it needs is some good weather :) ;) :D ;D to test it out ....
