Hope i've put this is the right place . If not, please feel free to move it ;D
Bit of a long shot, but has anyone got a C5 body shell in pretty good condition ( don't mind a few scratches, but prefer it to be straight ) that they would like to sell ?
Daz
I have three c5 bodyshells propped up in my garden, but they are far from pretty - there is a reason why they weren't restored ;)
You are welcome to come take a look and see if one of them suits your needs.
Thanks Karl :)
They sound a bit challenging :D
Would there be any chance of you sticking a few pics on ?
Daz
Hi Karl, how much do you want for another shell, as i work with a lady who is "potty" when it comes to potting plants, she has plants growing in all sorts of pots & pans and even an old toilet in the garden, and i said i would try and get an old shell for plants.

Andy, if you are interested in one - drop me an email and we can sort something out ;)
Will do, many thanks Karl.

Is the green one some sort of early prototype ? :D, Know there's an idea for you Karl several people have modified the chassis and motor and still use the shell, but you could make a body out something else a bit different to fit the chassis and running gear for a laugh, a bit like the supergran one. ;D

Karl, what kind of price would you be looking for ?

Not a lot, depends which one you want.
Might be easier to drop down and take a look or send me an email ,your choice might be reduced if Andy gets there first :P.
I'll send an email then ;D
If i have one its only for growing some plants, so you have first choice Daz.
Retro Andy
I'll be happy with any of them Karl, can i have the cheapest ;D
Retro Andy
Cheers Andy. If i have one i'll make sure i leave the worst for you :D :D

I replied with several piccies of the shell, but the email bounced as too big for your inbox.
I'll try again later with fewer piccies attached.
Thanks Karl.
There should be plenty of space now ( nearly 100mb free ) , but knowing Tiscali, anythings possible ???
Should have better service soon though :)

mate, you are not wrong :o ...4 attempts so far , let me know when you receive the email :P
After checking my email ( once Tiscali had stopped falling over ), i got both sets of pics, thanks.
Looks like it should be perfect for what i'm after, so can you put me down for that one please ;D
There was actually plenty of space before the pics were sent, so quite why it took so many attempts, i don't know ???
We'll be leaving Tiscali soon though ... just recently it's been rubbish !
Daz
Many thanks Karl for the body shell, i gave it a good clean with cif and blasted it off at work, Jenny has taken it home and has it filled with flowers, i will post some pictures later.
Retro Andy.
I'm looking forward to the pictures - it might give me some inspiration for the last shell I have left :)
Here's a couple of pictures of the C5 planter

That body looks better than the one that I go to work on - lol
I think i bought the wrong one from Karl :D :D
That looks great ;D
It scrubbed up well ;)
Looks really good 8)
Here's some updated pictures of the C5 flower bed.

Retro Andy.
That's grown over really well :)
I've got a few old tyres knocking about if you want one for that wheel...
Thats really kind Karl, I managed to fine a couple of old wheels and a pair of handle bars from my son's old bike, I also let Jenny have my old rear light, some tyres would be great.
