My Boxster journey

I have decided to pull links for my various Boxster threads into one place, mostly for myself so I can easily refer back to previous interventions, but also for others who might find my experiences useful.
In 2018 I already had a Porsche 924S and a 928 and I sort of fell into Boxster ownership.

I started this thread to share the work needed to catch up the maintenance on the first Boxster, the green one.

Then it was the turn of number 2… the blue one.

The original plan to sell the green boxster and keep the blue one got reversed… mostly because my friend Tony was more interested in the aesthetics than the mechanical and the blue boxster has nicer paint, beautiful wheels and fewer dents and scratches.

The following threads are on specific repairs made to one or the other of the Boxsters.
Clutch removal...

Then a new challenge with a spare engine I bought...
