Gutting a 98 Boxster for a Race car
 

I am gutting out a 1998 Boxster so I will have interior parts and other parts that I'm pulling off to lighten the car. The interior is not in great shape but not horrible condition either. All the parts will be coming out over the next month so if there is anything you may want let me know. The interior is black.

Some parts off the top of my head.

Dash and dash related parts
carpets
soft top (rear window is gone but the rest of the top is in great condition)
Door parts
AC system parts
Secondary air system parts
Seats (but the leather is all dried up)
Stock roll bar
Front and rear trunk carpet pieces.

Send me a message if you are interested in any of the stuff.

This is a good opportunity for owners of later models to replace that awful soft touch interior with the earlier, superior interior. ;)

GLWS!

I must be lucky. My 98 has no soft touch. Just plastic.

My Edge has some of that soft touch. Yeah, I'd be hating that nasty stuff in a Porsche.

Do you still have a center console ashtray and the useless cup holders (that function)?

Are you looking for the part that slips in the dash console? Or, are you looking for the two-cupper that fits into the console under the middle armrest?

Here are some pictures of the interior.

Is this what you are looking for? I didn't see any cup holders.

How much for the floor mats shipped to 92262? Thanks.

$75 shipped.

Let me get you some pictures of them first. They looked like they had a greenish tinge to them like they saw too much sunlight.

JC

The soft touch is on the later models only.
We have the good stuff :D

I have just one knob on the console of the Edge that has that stuff on it. It remains in great shape, but there's always something stuck to it. We lucked out. :cheers:

Here are pictures of the floor mats. The second picture shows the greenish tint a little better.

Let me know if you are still interested. I can do paypal.

Thank you. I'll pass, as they look close to my existing.

Cheers!

How much will you take for the glove box door,floor mats, center top windshield light, door panels and plastic windshield columns? Package deal lol?

The 1998 to 2002 don't have a glove box, so no door.

Sorry for the long wait. I was at the track racing all weekend.

How about $300 plus shipping. As the previous post said this car doesn't have a glove box. I'll get you some pictures today.

JC

Yes, that's what I am looking for. Shipping to 32011?

One more request; looking for the triangular driver side door piece with the side view mirror controller?

Do you want just the ashtray or the ash tray and the center console???

Here is the picture of the side mirror trim and switch

Here are the pictures of the door panels, and windshield columns. I don't have the windshield columns off yet. I'll get them off once the dash comes out which will be about mid Oct. I still need the center windshield light for the hard top closure though. If I can figure a way to keep the latch and remove the light then you can have it.

Yes to both. Cost + shipping to 32011

Soft top frame?
 

Do you have the soft top frame?

Thanks, Bill

Yes I do. Not sure about shipping it. It’s kinda big and bulky.

What are the approximate dimensions all folded up? I don’t need the top, just the frame.

Bill

I’m out of town till Monday. When I get home I’ll measure it.

If I can figure out how to get the canvas off that would lower the weight as well.

JC.

I only need one part of the frame. I’m not sure yet what it’s called, I have a current thread here on the forum asking for feedback. Perhaps you could just strip that individual component off your frame once I figure out which piece I need?

Thanks, Bill

The frame is roughly 60”x24” about 25-30lbs.

JC

Looks like I have to replace the entire frame. I’m looking local. If I don’t find what I need I will get back in touch.

Thanks for the effort, I appreciate it.
Bill

Roger that. I’ll have it for little bit more then it is going to the dump.

JC.

Does the ashtray stay closed and lock into place? Interested if so. Thanks.

Sending you a pm

I’ve got more parts off the car.


The entire AC system. (It was blowing super cold when I pulled it off)
Charcoal canister.
Hvac system.

JC.

Interested in the shifter boot if it’s not all dried out. Also do you have the little flip covers for the sun visor mirrors?
Thanks!

If you can tell me how to get the shift boot off without destroying it you can have it.

I do have the little flip covers on the visors but they didn't stay snapped shut.

JC

Haha, I don’t have a clue! I’m new to boxsters and to the forum as I just got a ‘97. I’m just looking for bits to complete mine and hoped I could figure it out...

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iRdDqB075WM

Actually looks very easy. 4 clips at the corners of the boot that “pop” off. Put the shifter in fourth gear and the shift knob and boot just pull straight up and off!

I’ve got to say that so far, any question I’ve had about my boxster has been quickly solved by you guys or by YouTube. I love it!

Ok, that looks easy enough to get off. I need to keep the knob, but if the boot is in good enough condition for you can have it with the sun visors. $25 total plus shipping. I'll post a picture tomorrow.

JC

SOLD soft top frame

Thanks JC!

I tried today to get the shifter off and I can't get it off. I pulled pretty hard and was afraid I'd break something. So I'm just going to cut it off.

Sorry :(
