Taking a leap of faith: just bought a 99 Boxster

Dear Community,

I`m totally new to this Boxster thing, I`ve never owned a Porsche, the only boxer I had was an old BMW motorbike I was looking for another convertible as my SAAB is getting old and I bumped into this blue Boxster long abandoned and covered with thick dust in a garage on craigslist. It had been sitting for 11 years, allegedly the engine had IMS failure and not salvagable. As I have an invincible attraction to challenges with predictably negative outcome, I purchased it. I hauled it home and took the engine out of the chassis for further inspection and disassembly. For sure I will have to replace the clutch, a few cables and wires that got eaten or chewed by the previous inhabitant (most likely an opossum), and the list is certainly gonna be growing when I take a peek into the engine.

As this is totallly an unknown field, I`m looking forward to seeing how this all will work out and I appreciate the tons of help on the forum along the way.

Greg
