My Blue Boxster refurb.

The new starter has been installed, I don't notice a difference in cranking speed but the proof will be next Spring when the car is started again.
I pulled and inspected the oil filter and it was super clean: no metal, no plastic bits. I also strained the oil in the filter housing through a piece of cloth and nothing there either. The engine would seem to be better than I hoped.
Next on to the clutch and IMSB inspections.

Nice car & posts! In your first post you mentioned puddle on passenger side. You also mentioned the drains were clear which is great. One problem I had was the drain panel had a tear behind / under passenger side roof, so it leaked into the passenger footwell. Another point of ingress is through the passenger door if the seal under the door panel has been removed. You didn't mention it in post #2, so maybe you fixed / found that already, but wanted to chime in just in case.

Thanks for the compliment. I have to take the top off to see if there is a tear in the foam drip pan, I think you are right about that. Sometime before the Spring that will be done.
