Just bought a boxster for 6k

[greenandtan]

Did you change out the plastic in the rear for $70?

Tips and tricks to this necessary evil??

Been a DIYer since I bought my "Green & Tan" '01!

New rear tires, balance, alignment ($400)
Oil/Filter change ($100)
New clutch ($400)
Misc engine pieces/seals ($60)
Convertible top fix ($70)
Four universal O2 sensors spliced with existing mounts ($120)
Tranny ($???)

This totals to $1150 spent so far not including tranny. Everything else seems fine with the car (knock on wood).
