Intro

Evening folks - a quick intro here. My names Mike, some of you probably know me from Rennlist as THE Mike D. or from the 914World as Sparky. I've been absent from the Porsche World for awhile now. But I'm back, and this time I may have stepped into it.... Recently bought a 2000 Boxster that was supposedly a flood car. I cant find any evidence of water damage anywhere. Nothing in the oil, nothing under the carpets, nothing anywhere. Now I looked this over several times before pulling the trigger and paid less then a dollar per model year or as my wife said "too much". It currently has no battery so I cant try and start it and have no idea how long it's been sitting.

My plan:
Pull and check the plugs and leave them out
mist a little Marvel mystery oil in to each cylinder
put in a fresh battery
try and turn it over by hand a few times (clockwise yes?)
plugs back in - cross fingers and give it a whirl

I'm sure as I go along I'll have a ton of questions.
