2000 Lapis blue Boxster S from Scotland

Great progress! Just curious why you didn't go with black on the console?

So since the last lot of pics there's been a bit of work but not the need of many more pics as it was pretty much putting the car back together I done the plugs and the oil and oil filter too but since all the was underneath there was no pics!

So the engine got a bit of tidy up at the time aswell



Then there was the rest of the car! So far it's had clay, polish, leather balm and some stuff Rachel got me in America which has done some other parts! It's still to get window polish, the rest of the interior done, more polish and some wax!



And pretty much that was it! Bumper back on, under trays and plastic guards all back on and a jump start and good to go!




I actually took it away for a brap on the Wednesday night, it ran not too great which apparently has something to do to the ECU resetting when you disconnect the battery for a few days? And I also forgot to put number plates on that night too so I was running around with no plates on at all.... Oops

It's back in the garage for the moment for more cleaning and since it won't fit in the drive now there's 2 cars there...




And the other day I bought a carbon fibre strut brace on eBay which was listed as a 987 one but I thought I would give it a go.... Turns out the 987 is a bit wider so I will either need to sell it, or chop it up as I could make it fit who knows!



And so that's it! I took it out last night and it runs sweet, sounds nice, loud enough but not too overbearing! So I'm happy with my work for now! Can't wait to get out and use it some again!

well not much has been done to the car, just enjoying it for what it is, but the one thing i did do was quite a mojor job in terms of its effectiveness in bringing the car up a notch in the standards apartment!

start off with one car in service mode:





take one new (second hand) blue roof with a glass rear window from a facelifted porsche (patience is key with ebay and got this a good £100 odd cheaper than their usual selling price)


off with the roof! 6 bolts and a couple ball jointed rods is all that holds it on!


then bolts the new one in place and make sure it closes!



put the rear clam cover in place, making sure its fits back in place, then down to make sure it all fits that way


and you're good to go once again!


much better looking, rear visability vastly improved since this rear screen isnt all frosted over, but its reduced in that its a tad smaller than the plastic one

and so thats it really. put a couple stickers on it, a flat black boxster S logo on the rear boot lid and frosted vinyl boxster S logos on the carbon sill covers

still riding odd wheels front to back (double staggered set up anyone?), but still looking to get the RH's sold and onto something else maybe? got a guy possibly interested so we will see where that goes!
