That's a sweet Boxster, congrats.
Yeah, I think you're gonna need a bigger garage.

It rolled off the trailer and right into the shop for a few much needed repairs. A once over on the car shows zero rust (an extreme rarity) and an overall clean car. Wiring? Totally different story but lights and gauges worked so that's all I could really ask for.





I decided to eyeball this Lucas thing. Looks normal to me. I don't understand all that funky stuff anyway, so I'll probably fly Mikey down to help.


Ready removed the bonnet and do some metal work on the hinge area causing the fitment issues. That'll get mounted today. A new exhaust is coming too. Might have to throw a quick paint job on this in BRG or some other. Not a fan of the resale red. The original color is Willow Green.





More to come!

Are you going to get the paintless dent guy over for that passenger side door ding? I was amazed at what they can do. Two weeks ago my son's Camaro got three divots completely removed. They were a similar size to what you have. And they were right on the sharp body lines. One on the quarter and one one each door. Without even getting behind the panels, the guy was able to get them all completely out by working the painted surface by using glued on tabs. It was well worth the $290. Simply an amazing talent.

Nah, no need to do that. If I get that area looking good it'll detract from all the other wornnesses the rest of the car has!

Couldn't stand myself, so the other morning I ripped the exhaust out and installed a nice new system. Wondering why it was sounding bad, I discovered the top of one muffler was basically a screen, and the other was connected to the head pipe with a Dr. Pepper can.







Hood is all adjusted and latches now along with a great sounding exhaust. A few odds and ends to do, but other than that, it stays like this until the 507 is done!

Yeah... Right

a Dr. Pepper can! Proposterous! It's a British car, sir! It should have been a Mr. Pibb can! My word, what type of hacks were permitted to work on that car?

Second most beautiful car ever! (69 Camaro is first).

Well, let's see. Sadly, I decided I better replace the goofy switch panel the previous owner installed at some point, with a correct one, Aaaaaaand then the interior, wiring, and dash came flying out. I'm not sure what exactly happened. Alls I know is an entire new wiring harness kit, correct switches, relays, and a bunch of other things are showing up next week.













Oh, you all know there's more to this than meets the eye. I think a new interior and color change may be in order too!

Cheers

Oh Lordy. I haven't seen all those Christmas light, toggle switches since my last visit to Radio Shack in 1979!

Looks like a good idea
