My new restoration Nov (BOB) Complete stripdown and build up +

[C5 ENTHUSIAST + RESTORER]

just stripped down the motor/gearbox .As you can see it's in very good condition ...
All it needs is a good clean and greased .Then rebuilding ....
.You can also see that it has had very little use by looking at the brushers .

Just two photo's of the body cleaned up ...A you will see it's had very little wear ....

Chas, brilliant restoration, like the stripdown videos and would love to see a rebuild step by step video.

My next C5 I would like to do a full restore and I would find such a video a great help as literature is very sp*pardon my French*. If there is already such a video please can someone advise.

thanks Lance
