Thanks, if you look at it from far enough it seems immaculate It`s a pity it got scratched and dented during storage. I plan to to something to that large dent on the right fender at least.

It's on the top of the fender behind the headlight? You'd be amazed what a good paintless dent repair guy can do. For the scratches - get on Youtube and look around at some of the detail guys - Ammo NYC particularly. He does amazing work on original paint. Check his website out for his products.

I get a lot of satisfaction from bringing a dead Boxster back to life. It might not be the cheapest thing to do, but it's a very satisfying hobby.

If you run into problems, just ask the guys here on the board. There are a lot of smart guys that really know these cars.

Heck I'd be tempted to give that one a try myself w/ some good spoons. You can access area pretty easily after you pop the headlight pod out. Otherwise I guarantee a good PDR guy can knock that out in a snap.

If you don't know a great PDR guy, ask for referral at a high end dealer. Better yet, let them make their $25-50 on the deal too (will help you in building some goodwill if ever needed) and have them schedule on his/her next trip thru. The quality PDR and PPF gurus have premium dealers on a weekly paper route of sorts...

Good luck

Thanks! Just ordered a dent-pulling set from China, let`s see if I can make it worse!

Few more pics today. Here`s a shot of the engine. Dust everywhere, other than that everything seems to be there.

Except for this: somebody must have been here before me..

I think the Boxster served as a perfect habitat for some critters. Most likely the same thing happened to this guy:
