So this weekend I finally drug my Ocean Jade Metallic '99 out of the back of the shop where it's mostly been sitting since I bought it 3 years ago. I've put maybe 500 miles on it since I brought it back to Oklahoma from Tucson AZ. I've been working on it hit/miss between my other projects. Lot's of delayed maintenance from previous owners, but nothing out of the ordinary; fluids, belts, motor and transmission mounts, suspension bits and pieces and window regulators.

I'm pretty happy with it. It cleaned up well, drives quiet, pulls hard (and to the extent I wanted to push 12 year old mismatched tires ) it handles like a Boxster.

I'm looking forward to getting some detail work complete and finishing up some more maintenance making it roadworthy. It's a unique color and very nicely optioned. Stay tuned for more...

Ocean Jade metallic is a stunning color. Makes my black 03 S looks drab. You don't see many of them -- what years was it offered.

Nice work, and pretty shot of the car. I've only seen one other OJM in person - at the Blue Ridge Boxster Summit. It really is a beautiful color. Perhaps not everyone's cup of tea, but I appreciate the cars in not commonly seen colors.
