Hello Aynsley, first of all congratulations to your wife for getting a free Boxter and I wanted to share my personal comments.. BTW how is the condition of the body and interior..?
Since the car was free,
(and if the car is in good shape) I would Not drive it yet until you address the IMS issue, as these fail mostly on vehicles that are in storage or seldom driven and your car fits on the models that fail the most (single row bearing..)
Again, if the car is clean IMHO, you should remove the gearbox and replace the IMS and then enjoy the car for many years to come, otherwise you may start driving a car that "could fail" and most likely send the car to the scrape yard :-(
Please don't take me wrong but it seems that you already invested on spare parts and will start the process of bringing the car back on the road.
