But to some of us, this car is a cheap beater. "good-'nuff" is the name of the game with my Boxster...

I agree with you mostly... it's just that my Boxster is my Ferrari, so I try to keep it original.
On my 928, which has been butchered by previous owners I am less difficult, although I like to use only metric fasteners for example, just so tool selection is easier.

Agreed for those that are trying, but when someone just cut bundles of wires and left them hanging... Again referring to my 928, a previous owner cut the wiring for the mirrors and the wiring for the radio and some other wires that I don't know what they used to do. The radio has been rewired with all sorts of wires that run beside the original wires. sigh
