02 Base just south of 170,000 miles - daily driver, not gonna win any beauty contest prizes, but sure is a blast driving her.

Slowly restoring her, kind of like a moebius strip or a sisyphean task, though.

I enjoy the process and try not to focus on getting to the "end result"

That seems to be the real joy for me with this car.

It's a hobby, an obsession, maybe even a "Boxster disorder" but when I come on here, I see that I am not the only one who feels this way.

As I read here and am making my mantra. "Drive more, worry less"


One question though, how do I determine if this is the original engine? Where do I find a SN and is there a database to match that against? I don't have complete records (I know, I know....)
