Thanks for that .Hope it helps more ....I will be doing a video of the build up of the above soon ...

I'd be be very interested in any tips restoring scuffs and gauges in the shell. I have the yellow C5 with a chunk is missing from the nose, I also have a spare shell, scuffed and gauged fairly heavily, and a spare chassis with forks, and spare motor. Been hoovering up cheap parts to eventually make a restore third C5

Plan is to clean up the spare chassis and and as much as possible the spare shell, making a 'nice one' out of all the bits from the yellow C5, Then doing the same on my other bog standard C5, ending up with a clean C5 chassis and spares, on the run so to speak.

You can see how very helpful your video will be :).

Just started to build up the C5 that is on Youtube .....As you will see that all the parts have been cleaned and ready for rebuilding ...
This one will be  as close to the original  as safety will allow (But I will have to fit new tyres and new brake cables ) the Key switch will be refitted and a new battery + the batt top will also fitted and of course all the bearings will be replaced if worn and re greased

Nice set of pictures there Chas .....

These would look good in a Haynes manual !!   ;)  I did try and get them interested in doing one for the C5 a couple of years ago, but they said they would get back to me !!!!!!!   :P

Maybe all this could be made into a "C5ALIVE WORKSHOP MANUAL" there is so much information on this site, it would be great to get it all into a Hard copy reference manual or maybe a PDF version on CD ??

Just a thought !!!

Hi just bought a new battery (063) fitter the original cover on it (after making a few cuts to it )
and connected it to the c5 and everything seemed to be working great .So took it out for a run for about 5 miles and it ran great everything was working well....Nice to get back on the road ......

Chas, Can you take a picture of the 063 battery top you have cut down because I want to do the same with my latest C5. I have been looking at using a Bosch silver 063 52ah (£20 more than a standard 063 42ah)but same size & weight and 5Years warranty. Also what primer / paint have you used to restore the c5 body shell.

thanks
