Very nice work! That second picture looks like the car blew its brains out. Always amazes me when you take them apart there is that moment when you go...this will go back together, right?

LOL!
that was exactly my toughs Saturday night when i saw all the parts on the floor.
knowing putting every thing back is usually more complicated then taking it apart.
i was surprised to find out how simple it was (relatively speaking).
it toke me a whole day to take the car apart, including taking pictures and tagging the parts and screws.
the next day i rebuild the air box and put all the parts back.
surprised how all the parts are "falling" into place.
i was working many years as car alarm/stereo installer, and can tell you the boxster is one of the most simple car to work on, and has very high quality interior.
i even think mechanically the boxster is an easy car to work on.
especially if you have the right tools, books, and the support of the members of this forum (and other as well)

Meir,

Excellent job!

pretty ballsy too; really looking forward to your DIY guide going up

well, i'm finally done with the DIY.
"thanks" to hurricane Isaac i spent most of that weekend writing these documents.
i was going over the documents over and over again, and found some spelling errors, and minor mistakes(that i fixed), but if ill keep looking for them, i will probebly never realease the documents .
so, here we are.
i decided to split the DIY into 3 separate documents.
in order to complete the process, you will need to remove the heater core and the dashboard, so i decided to create separate DIY for that.
some people who might need to remove the dashboard for other purposes, or replacing a leaking heater core, will be able to use these documents on their own.

these are the links for the full process:

step 1 - heater core removal/replacement.

step - 2 - dashboard cover removal.

step 3 - replacing the evaporator and re- foaming the flaps.

i will also post these links in the DIY section, and the pelican parts website.
all together, and separate, in order to help other members locate the files with the search tool (even i have never figured out how do use it. i never find anything i'm looking for ).

please feel free to send me any comments, suggestions or questions. I will try to keep these files updated in case we will find some errors.
i posted the PDF files in my dropbox. from some reason it reduce the quality of the PDF document.
if anyone has an idea for a better place to host these document or would like to have the original copy of the PDF, just let me know, and ill email it to you.

by the way, this job is not as hard as it looks. it just take a lot of time, and a lot of parts to remove. if you will follow this document, take your time, and tag the parts
and screws, you will be fine.
writing this documents was more complicated then doing the job.

good luck.
