Greetings from a new member

Good tips on using actual paragraphs, and on the starting a new thread.

I'll give it a go tonight.

Cheers!

Spokane? The warm part of the state.

Yeah.. the Boxsters value may never rise to the level of its counterparts... but they look nice and drive well. Wrinkles and dents? Maybe in Washington, but here in Cali... I wouldn't be caught dead driving a dented and wrinkled piece of **************** anything. However, I can understand your position... cause I've seen how Washingtonians dress. It's like they don't care. If it wasn't for Washington state Ross, TJ Maxx, and Marshalls would be out of business. OK. I jest in part. I grew up in Washington. Tacoma. And, no, I'm not bragging about that. that said...

Maybe you can start a thread about your build. A V-8? That would be awesome! I'd certainly follow it.

Cheers!

Ah, Tacoma. The land where the guys have man-buns and wear wool socks in their sandals. Back at ya! And kidding somewhat as well. I like it here on the warm dry side of the state.

Just to clarify, the car will be straightened and painted once I get the mechanicals sorted. Can't see doing that until I'm done leaning on it to reach the tight spots. It's not terrible, I was just making the point it's not perfect. A good paintless dent tech could fix 90 percent of it and then stick a bra on it to hide the scrapes on the bumper cover.

I will most likely start a build thread shortly once I get a bit further on parts gathering. Still deciding which engine to go with. My concern is it will be slow going. That makes me wonder if I should take notes and pics along the way and post it up when I'm done instead?

It seems to be a popular swap with a fairly small supply chain so far. Maybe I can change that. I'm in my mid-fifties and thinking a part time business might be a good idea. Who knows where that could lead. Most of my hobby experience revolves around wood working but metal is similar so far as measure twice cut once. Maybe put together a real kit with clear directions and diagrams....

We'll see what happens but guess I can start a thread either way. I'll see if I can figure out how to add pics too.

make the kit 1/2 price than RH and you will have a market.
I would certainly entertain a ls3 in my boxster when the time comes, and certainly pay for a quality conversion kit.

Hey All

I wanted to let you know that I did start a build thread, and I'm going to abandon this introduction.

Check it out under the usual thread location. Trust me, it will be slow going but hopefully worth the wait. Learning of some great new parts sources for this swap!
