Water pump, AOS, brake pads/rotors all new within the past year. Needs new coil packs, spark plugs, and a few other minor items. First impression is that the additional 100hp of the 996 sure is nice!

This leaves me $5K + my all of the parts from my damaged 986 BSX towards having a Spec Boxster (BSR) built. I'll have to add a bit of my own money to get there but it is within sight!
That's a steal for a 996!

Looks like a happy ending for your story
