Today the 986S GT3 ( haha ) took another step forward. Kind of a funny story how this latest item unfolded. About 8 months ago a local guy was parting out a Boxster that had been hit. One of the items he was selling was a less than one year old aftermarket top on the frame with a glass rear window. I picked it up for $400.00 . It has been sitting in the garage as I summoned the courage to do the swap
. When I recently picked up my car from the body shop after the rocker/diffuser install I was talking to the owner of the shop about doing the swap. He said sure anytime you want just let me know. As it turns out he was selling his 99 Boxster, the other day when it was a little chilly here he dropped the top and crack went the rear window ! So he has the car for sale, people showing up to look at the car and a split rear window. I get a text from him saying he will swap out my top for the glass window top for NO CHARGE if he can have my vinyl window top to put on his car. Sure no problem ! And I got his old top/frame as a spare for no charge so a totally free deal. Picked her up today and here are some crappy cellphone pics it was starting to rain. The top needs to be cleaned up but it looks great !
