Default C5 Thanks

First off I would like to say thanks to those of you who have put in the hard work and time for some of the DIY fixes.
Second I would also like to give all the other forum users a pat on the back for the awesome community they have achieved here.

I am currently in the process of the Droped HUD and hazard/blinker fix/repar on Lucy('03 C5).
The write ups and posted pictures of these two have been a great help thus far.
My current stage of reassembly has sadly been put on a small hold due to needing some replacement parts for the ones that were broken(HUD Bezel) and were found to be broken(knee pad under the steering wheel).

Lucy has been a great joy to have in my life. I wouldnt have her still if it wasnt for my wife and her family.
She has made it through some very hard times with us and come out clean.

There are Mods and up grades that I would like to do in the future for the engine, body and suspension.
I will look to your input/opinions on these as the time comes to do them.

I am also open to any helpful info/tips/tricks you may have for Lucy and I.

Welcome to the forum and glad you and Lucy have weathered the storm to enjoy the thrill of ownership.

If you haven't already read through the sticky, "one of the best threads". I highly recommend you take the time or reference it when you have a certain need.

The forum really is a wealth of knowledge and at some point just about any problem that has occurred has been discussed here, along with potential solutions.

Should you have questions as you go along, post them up. Lots of good members here that you can draw on for advice.
