96' Senator 215i
Nice work Shauno89,
Looking great, I'm going through a full rebuild/restoration/upgrade on my 96' Senator. I'll get a thread of my own started one day soon. Keep up the good work... Nothin like DIY-ing to appreciate ur ride!!

Thanks mate!
I have always loved the VR/VS senators, best looking model there is! Will be a nice build mate, will be glad to check it out once you have a thread up.

UPDATE!

Got as much done as i could this week/weekend as shitful as the weather was, thought i would tidy up the wiring a little before fitting my gaurds up, removed all my interior awaiting the leather to go in once i find some carpet. Installed the headlights, had to rip out the VN loom inside the headlights and replace it with a VS loom, bit of a pain but all good now.
Also got a few more bits painted.

Thanks fellas! The deadline is October just in time for c4c, so will be putting in a fair few hours over the next month to get her on the road.

The bobtail I just put down a coat of plastic primer first then 2k high fill over the top.

Some more pics of the progress!
Bought some vq sideskirts a while ago so got them painted and fitted over the weekend. Also got a bit excited and fitted my caprice grill.
