Hey everyone,
So I changed all the parts and everything worked out ok. I believe I only spent about 3500 on parts alone including rims and paint. Labour was done by me and to be honest, Porsche is the easiest car I have ever worked on. I had changed all control arms and sub frame on that side, under panels, front rad support, front air dam, rear bumper, rear trunk, rear spoiler. I had the alignment done today and the car was come out perfect. I will post pics when the car is done from the paint shop. I just wanted to say thanks for all the posts.

Mueen, well, I am shocked. Good job!

Where the heck is Kitchener......Canada??

And your brother? Is he still alive? Did he pay for the parts? Did he help you with the installation of the parts?

I really want to know what his level of responsibility has been for the damage and repairs. Don't ask me why. I'm just inquisitive!

Doing the work yourself saved you (or your brother) thousands of dollars. Good save!

Great job and at a fabulous cost as well. I believe Kitchener is in Ontario Canada. Where were these parts sourced from as parts in Canada are so expensive and you replaced a lot of items.

Brothers can be dangerous
 
My younger brother left the road into a telephone pole on the left fender of my Sunbeam Alpine many years ago. This was done while I was out of town and he knew that he was not to drive the car. This was the BEST PART!

What he was doing was buying booze in the District(D.C) and bring it to Maryland. He was 18! If the police had looked in the trunk of the car it would have been confiscated! This was all for a party that he was not to have.

hey everyone, sorry about the late reponce. The car drives great but I couldnt get the exhaust tip fixed. Would you guys know if a 2003 boxster S muffler would fit my 2002 boxster 2.7?

Thank everyone.

Yes, the 03 muffer from an S will fit without any issues, as it has the same mounting points. You'll also get some increased growl from it, as they changed the acoustics of the muffler a bit in that year to give it a bit more sound.
