twsarch replied to twsarch's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Thanks for the replies. If I wind up with this car my plan was to get used parts (already have some price info from a breaker in CA, but no shipping cost yet) bolt it together then have a body shop check the alignment points and adjust as needed. I would then remove the fender and bumper cover again and send them out to get painted (unless the used parts match, I had that happen one time before with a door on a ford!). Any paint required under the exterior skin I will do myself, I have painted a few cars before but don’t have a decent place to do something like that at the moment. To help speed up finical recovery from this project, I may skip repairing the AC until latter; it’s a soft top after all. Does anyone know where to get a shop manual without spending thousands? Nothing will happen with this until I get the thing up on a lift to look at the undercarriage; the seller has agreed to do this. I hope to get more comments on this if anyone wants to chime in, thanks -
I am considering buying a damaged 01 boxster. Damaged is the only way I may afford one. It was hit in the front driver’s side but I think it looks worse than it is. I am considering buying this as a DIY driveway repair and was looking for any comments and suggestions from members, including what you think the car may be worth, has 50K on the clock (assuming all else is ok, there is a small tear in the rear top vision panel). see atached photos. I have done things like this in the past on American cars from the ’70. Thanks
