Hi Luke.

I am really looking forward to following your progress with this restoration.

Good luck

Simon

I can't wait to get started on it ether but I need to clear off a desk in the portakabin to do it on. Once I've done that I'll try to make a start

My state of the art work bench

Only just fits but should "hopefully" start work on it some time soon

My first question. How do you take the body off the C5, I know that there is 2 screws behind the rear light, there's one just in front of the peddles and there is a screw where the battery goes. The handle bars and peddles have to come off. Is there any thing I have not mentioned could you please tell me or if there is something I have said that is wrong mention it please. I can't wait till I have the body off then I can have a proper look at the chassis and start work on it.

Thanks,

Can't wait to hear from you

There is a write up on the forum by C5 Martin telling you how to remove the body in detail, it's in the link below.

Well done Luke - any photos ?

Luke S · 28, April, 2013 - 19:18:25

We just removed the body shell nothing else

Ignore the go-kart in the picture, I had to move it or I could not get it out.

Hi there Luke it looks neglected but it is in restoration condition and I'm sure it will come out great .Another C5 will be saved from the dump...

Luke S · 28, April, 2013 - 21:03:59

When you look at it it dose not look too bad. The metal bar behind the seat, the rust looks quite bad. I'll have to see what I can do with it, if not I'll have to buy another one from somewhere. That motor I bought from you I may fit it to this C5 and regress the one that is already on there.

Hi you may find that Karl may have one of the back bars for sale ...
