Nice works. Wheels & calipers came out very good.

Very nice job. I'm sure you have a great sense of satisfaction (well justified!).

Very impressed by how well this turned out! So glad you took the time to restore it properly!

Also about to purchase: 2002 Boxster S, Black
With the graphite gray interior. The top is suspiciously gray, too. Was that ever an option for a black body with gray interior, or is it an amazingly uniform faded black top?
Also has the litronic headlights, 18" 2 piece wheels and the Bose subwoofer. A Porsche specialist is selling it, they bought it from a 10 year customer, full records with recent clutch, flywheel, IMS, OAS etc etc. A bit worn and faded, but mechanically sound, just cannot figure out that top.

I finally got a durametric and am able to properly diagnose more complicated issues, don't know why I didn't purchase sooner! First thing I did was clear my airbag light and the second thing I did was check my cam deviation values, here they are:
Here are some other p codes that came up when I Ran some diagnostics, I have already replaced the brake pedal sensor and all brake lights are working, not sure why this error keeps popping up.
I also changed my serpentine belt, glad I did as the old one was cracking around the edges.
And I found some time to install my FVD 996 turbo pedals
Here's a list of items that still need to be fixed:
Replace clutch and flywheel
Install new engine mount and shims
Fuel filling issue - unable to fill up
Chain ramp tensioners
Check timing and chains - done
Replace primary cat
A/C - no cold air, compressor and clutch working fine
CV Axles replace
Install technobrace
Wind screen deflectors install
Pedals - done
P0420
P0455
Change serpentine belt - done
Install 997 TB and plenum
Replace MAF

P0455:
Take off your gas cap and get a look at the o-ring that seals it. It's probably cracked. You can replace the whole cap (non-vented), or just get a new o-ring.

Very nice work. It is amazing to me that people could neglect a special edition car
my car needs some cosmetic attention. new carpeting is in order as well as soft top. But people still can't believe it when I tell them it's 16.5 years old and has not had a full repaint.
p.s.
Try the Griot's Garage wax below if your near an advanced auto or some other store that carries it. I don't put a lot of stock in brand hype but for a product you can buy over the counter this is as good as any of the more expensive boutique brand mail order stuff I've overpaid for. Provided you do a clay bar and an ay least manual compound polishing first to clean the paint even if you don't need to remove swirl marks.

I replaced the gas cap with an oem a month ago. Should I clear the code and see if it comes back?

I traded in the SE today for a 2002 996 C4S (RMS, IMS, and clutch replaced 10k miles ago.) Sad day but I couldn't turn down this offer  . I have quite a few box items for sale, stay tuned!
Here are a few pics:
