Resurrecting a wrecked 2002 Boxster S

Ive had a 1997 base model for a few years. Knock on wood, 33K never been in the shop other than regular preventative maintenance. Here is the current one:



Ive been reading a lot on the forum but haven’t really posted. I thought Id share a project I think is going to be interesting.

This summer a local Craigslist add caught my eye. A kid had purchased a wrecked 02 S at auction with the intention of fixing it up himself however apparently ran out of money. On a whim I met with him and checked it out. It was in pretty rough shape cosmetically but drove fantastic. I was really surprised at the difference in power from my base which is an automatic. Initially I was only mildly interested as he wanted 7K for the car which still needed a lot of work. It does not have a salvage title but per the carfax was declared a total loss. I did a little research online and found the original auction with photos (prior to him starting his repairs).
