914racer, Do you have anymore pics of your car? I really like everything you've done to your interior. I was going to paint all my interior trim like yours but got lazy. That's a lot of work!

Thanks, I made the tonneau myself out of fiberglass. You can see more pics under "show and tell" "My prototype inspired Boxster. Or in the Oct. issue of Panorama there is a full article about the car. " A Boxster His Way".

So you're the Michael Murphy who built the prototype tribute Boxster? Awesome job! And it's good that you have a "very understanding wife".

I've always said that the Boxster would be perfect if it had the prototype bumper cover and Speedline wheels. Your new fiberglass piece is great, and also mirrors that of the prototype.

I understand, though, that the new bumper cover creates some cooling issues. Is that correct?

Just wonderin'..........

No, not Craigslist. The seller listed the hardtop in the Classifieds section of the PCA Maverick website. He was moving to a different state, so he let it go for $500. Included was a rolling stand, and factory cover. He also gave me a bag of Porsche Tequipment car care products, and an unused ashtray, which I put on eBay for $100.

Just sayin'............

Very therapeutic day.

Cars & Coffee, a walk on the beach. then back home to change oil and filter - 9 + quarts of lovely clean DT40,
then replaced the brake fluid.

Followed by a drive up through the local mountains for a cleansing ale!

Haha yes she is, a little less so after the "frugal" comment in the article.
The bumper creates no cooling problem, the problem at the swap meet was from me overfilling the reservoir. Since then I've driven 7 hours to Vermont in 80-90 degrees with the A/C on, no problems. Thanks for your interest.
