Hi legend, yes the air box should be as you described and without the cold air induction over the shroud. The spare will be a hsv 16 x7 42p in yellow with the rectangular sticker (round stickers are vr vs) that 15 inch spare won’t fit over the front calipers. Bonnet badge is wrong as you suspected,it is the same as the wheel center cap. Guard badges are correct. Also check the garnish for small cracks as normally if the tail lights are cracked then the garnish will be too. Cluster slides are normally snapped off too (same as vq statesmen, Vp Calais) if you are looking for some. Don’t lose those factory rims either as they are now made of unattanium :). Unique to Vp hsv. My estimate is $32.700 Awesome work on the channel mate.

This is the senator there were 5000i senators too. About 150 of them mostly in senator quartz purple. They were all auto like the vp gts (said to have trans upgrades) and have a 200kw engine with bigger cam and head work i think. Plus group a 328mm front brakes. They had a blue interior and could be optioned with full leather and sunroof for example. There were also a handful of 5th anniversary 5000i senators which are even rarer.

I think the badgers are correct work at GMH...

Badges are correct but not the position

She's worth at least 50k as is.

[@whoopsman]

Very nice. Will it be converted back to factory auto?

[@MindieJ]

most likely no

[@JF-pr4or]

Mindiej93 Hopefully it goes back to original if you can

[@mrbrad4637]

It's probably worth $32,000 ??. As I've seen them up to $40k on carsales.

[@MindieJ]

maybe for a mint condition one

[@mrbrad4637]

@@MindieJ The one for $40k had 200,000km on it! I wouldn't pay that much.. covid tax has thrown the price of 2nd hand Aussie built V8s up.. I just paid $25k for a 2008 black XR8 with all options in showroom condition and only 54,000k and I thought even that was a little over priced

[@MindieJ]

@@mrbrad4637 200k one on Carsales will be on there for a very long time

[@mrbrad4637]

@@MindieJ I agree it will be, wayyy overpriced..

You were incorrect about the spare wheel. It was a stocky yellow, but not the same as the wheels it has. It was a 16 x8 SV 5000 wheel painted yellow

[@MindieJ]

According to HSV you’re incorrect, spare wheel in the car is correct

[@tonymontana897]

@@MindieJ I doubt it. I remember these cars when they came out and all the one's my mates had all a painted yellow wheel same as those on the SV 5000. Perhaps there was a handful with the steely but I can put money ALL the ones I came across had the painted alloy. I found it strange at first but it was what it was. Whoever you spoke to at HSV is wrong.

[@gav6808]

What number is the car? The number should be above the glove box.
