Brought a set of original front rotors for my 5000i model from EBay. HSV VP 327x28mm with ABS ring gear set, these disc was used on the 5000i & GTS models . The owner had them in storage for the last 20+ years out of there protective packaging, but had never used them. They have develope surface rust on them, but it was easy to remove (DBA019). I made the mistake of buying front rotors 15 years ago without the ABS ring gear set, so the ABS light would sometimes stay on ( ABS OFF) the instrument cluster. Happy that Iv'e got the original old school discs. Unsure of what the indentation holes on the hub are for one has three holes the other has five holes, maybe for balancing purposes.
Started to work on my engine bay to get it looking original again. Have original engine cover paint left on my breather hose ports, which I took to a car paint shop to have it match up perfect. When I brought the car back in 2000 it had original paint on the engine covers, but I decided to change the colour around 2003 to Monza red colour. The colour match paint I received from the paint shop is what I remember the engine covers being at that time when I brought the car.
The colour of the engine covers of the other Senator in the above picture does not appear original being a candy apple red colour. I'm sure all the colours for the Senator 5000i are solid semi gloss
Either Maroon, Red, orange
Also have changed the banana inlet manifold colour back to looking original.
Things have brought
New engine bay sticker decal kit
New coolant bottle
New clutch fan
Used plastic fan shroud
Haven't got it all back together yet
