Help me decide new projects for my car.

Hey, I have a 1998 Boxster that has a lot of problems with it... its been wrecked a few times and just generally abused. But I love the car and I am trying my best to fix as much stuff as possible on it. Does anyone have any suggestions for some cheap projects I can do to help the car out? So far I have desnorkeled it, painted the calipers, re-painted the bumperettes and the windshield wiper arms, Ive put a fabspeed exhaust on the car, and a new stereo. I just finished pulling the interior apart and steam cleaning the carpet. I am really getting motivated and just wanna do more work on the car but I am running out of ideas for things to do. if anyone can help me out with some projects id really appreciate it. Thanks!!!

Not sure how cheap it is but you could de-amber the lights and put a clear third brakelight on.

Are you fixing things that are broken or functioning poorly or are you just looking to do modifications? Are you looking for maintenance or upgrade advice?

Here I am just looking for modifications, perhaps some maintenance, I have already flushed the coolant changed the oil and air filter and cleaned the throttle body and degreased the underside of the car. I wanna do plugs soon.

As you have allready desnorkled your car have you thought about removing the silencer chamber from the intake pipe?
Not sure how to add the thread to my post but check out cj boxsters old posts,its simple virtually free and gives the car even more of a growl then just desnorkling with an aftermarket panal filter my car now sounds great.I don't know if it aids performance.

But it sounds like it does
