Boxster Resurrection: 2001 Boxster S back from the Dead

Have to wonder how much damage was done to all the piping under the car by those forks....

I bought my car from an auction and it was loaded like this as well. They broke the rear track arm on the driver side but surprisingly nothing else was damaged.

The people driving these front loaders move such a large volume of vehicles that they are amazing in their careful placement of the forks. I have never had any real damage occurring on a car being forked at an auction other than minor scratching of various items. However, I tend to buy higher end cars in the auction and they might take more care in handling them.

I'm going out to take the seat out. I have a pretty good idea what I will find.

With the engine cover carpet out and drying I wanted to take a look at the engine bay. Uggh. Years of road grime, grease, oil, dust, and filth covered the engine. I couldn’t stand it so I got out my Chemical Guys Grime Reaper and got after it. I’ll do a better job later but at least now I can leave it with a somewhat good conscience that the car is not wallowing in its own filth.
