Replaced passenger side driveaxle. Was making a clicking noise so it was time. Found a used one on eBay.

One tip, I think the 101 projects book says you need to take down the muffler to replace. I just dropped the coffin arm and control arm and "pulled" wheel carrier bottom of strut out enough to get the driveaxle into the wheel hub. Seemed to work.

The muffler flange bolts did not look like they were gonna come out without breaking off.........hence looking for a different solution. Stopped for a second thinking that if I broke them it would be a great excuse to upgrade the exhaust...........But nah. Not yet.

Today and yesterday I got one of my 'project Boxsters' ready to be someone else's race car project. Even though I was selling it as-is with the engine out, it's a lot easier to transport with the engine in so...






Now I need to decide if I still have three project Boxsters and one parts car or two and two.

I'm hoping to start on this one soon. Zanzibar Red:

Extremely jealous. Where did you find the Zanzibar car? Year? Base or S? Transmission type? Interior color? What does it need?

Don't be too jealous Rick. 2001 Tiptronic Base that doesn't engage in gear and was sitting for three years. I made a low offer on a Tulsa Craigslist ad that was about to expire. It did come with an additional transmission and torque converter ready to install though.

That blue one already had a buyer before you asked about the bumper and transmission. I never actually had it for sale, just came across a guy that was looking and decided to let it go.
