Hi just picked up a C5 and as you can see it's had a hard life (Just like me) .The body has a split on the front .Take a look at photo's also take a look at the back brake you will see that someone has put it on top of the frame .Anyway I don't think I will be restoring this one the body is to far gone .But I will end up with some usefull spares .And use them with another body
Photo's to follow

I'm sure if anyone can, you can chas, I reckon you can save it with a replacement shell ?
Retro Andy.
Do you want to sell the shell, i want one to put some plants in for the garden ;)
John
Thanks Andy you are right I do have another shell and I will think about it using it for the restoration of this dead unloved C5 ...Will keep you updated ....
Hi there John I do have I shell you can have but you will have to collect it ....bye Chas (ps the price will be £0.10 to you) bye Chas
Ok thats a deal, i will sort out what i am doing at work over the next week and let you know.
Already found a spot for it in the garden ;D
Not told the wife yet :o
Thanks
John
Hi Chas,
You do seem to pickup some badly cared for C5's, but like normal you will have it looking like new.
Hope to see more photos
Lance
Hi there John no problem pick up when you can ..bye Chas ....(Did you say that you found a place in the garden for the Wife) And a place in the house for the C5
Great pics,i thought mine were bad but looking at that i have a head start!
Mrs Plod said she would give you a pound if you DON'T sell it to me ! ;D
Tell here sorry but a deal is a deal (but if she could stretch to say £1.10 I may consider it )
bye John ...Just to let you know that It will need some cleaning it's been outside some time ....
Chas looking at that body and it being the base could you not get it "plastic welded", Quite a lot of places and mobile car sprayers do it for bumpers, etc
Lance
Hi there Lance I may do that .But it's not the one that John will be collecting (if I don't get an off from his Wife ...)
Hi Chas. Have you by any chance got a spare plastic ring that is rivetted to the bulkhead just forward of the motor. I presume its for the battery retention strap;that what I used mine for anyway but it has snapped recently.
Hi no problem I do have some brass ones that you can open and fit in place .Just give me your address and I will send you a couple ..bye Chas
