Good Point Jay, I have just been cruising most of the site in stealth mode and have enjoyed the amount of information out there and resources available. I live in NC and bought my first 2002 Boxster S of a guy down in SC. Its riding 100K miles and just needs a lot of TLC but mechanically it seems in great shape. He had made a few alterations which Im trying to turn back to stock including the Climate Control, Radio and Lighting. Also he smoked in the car which has been a nightmare to get out
What has already been done:
1. Interior has been pulled out, steam cleaned and de-odorized
2. Seats have been reconditioned but will get to cracks later in year
3. I have repainted rims
4. Three stage cut and polish
There is still a laundry list to go
But at least I got the smell out of car.
The Porsche Boxster is a scary proposition when you think of the buy in price versus upkeep and maintenance. Plus the IMS failure scares the bejebus out of me but oil and filter look clean at the moment. Have very small oil leak that needs to be addressed.
Will post pics when its all back together again
