New Owner-North Alabama

Good morning! New owner here, located in North Alabama USA. Picked up my 2000 with 65k miles on Tuesday. The wife and I just wanted a cruiser and I went with auto to make it easier for her. We plan to do a top down cruise thru the Florida Keys this winter once I recover from my last round of chemotherapy, I have Lymphoma.
Has a few things I need to address but overall in good shape.

Rear window has cracks- asking local upholstery guy who is redoing the seats for my 1980 Fiat Spider if he can sew in a new one, he hasnt replied to me yet. I joined the Boxster group on FB and a couple suggested a new top and glass rear window but with replacing all the brakes and full new stereo system I will need to wait on that a bit, havent really sourced them or seen what they would cost.

Brake rotors seem really wore, already ordered replacements with pads all the way around.

Radio is locked and asking for a code. Ordered a new Media Player and going to look at adding new amp and speakers.

Going to move the climate control down out of the way to fit the new double DIN screen.

Rear trunk Boxster emblem is broken some. Going to machine something new for that.

Bulb behind the digital read out under the tach is out. I can barely see the numbers and will get to this when I work on the dash for the head unit etc.

I have my own machine shop in the back yard, I own www.printermods.com, and looking to make a few unique pieces for it, have them anodized then laser engrave on them.

Really love the car! Last night the wife and I went on a 60 mile cruise on back roads in the mountains of North Alabama and twisted and turned and had a blast. I would say that the wife had less fun getting all the snarls out her hair after we got home but a benefit of the chemo is no hair so it was fine for me! HA!

Apparently cant use Google Photos to insert an image so I will just have to post without.
