Hey, what happened to the wiring along the driver's side rocker panel to the ECU in the trunk?

I'll put it back after the welding is done, but I want to try to relocate the fuses, relays, and Immobilizer to a more convenient location.

Oh, Great! An other Spec Boxster in the NE. Let me know what your first event is going to be, I built one over the winter as well and I am located just outside of Philadelphia.

Awesome, love that color. For someone thinking about track prep, I have a short primer on what you might want to do, located here: Pelican Technical Article: Track Preparation / Rollbar extension - 986 Boxster (1997-04) - 987 Boxster (2005-08)

Pls keep posting the photos as you put it together, it's really cool to watch!

Great, I believe that there should be at least 2 of us there that weekend for the NASA event, it is the same weekend as the PCA race @ WG and they have about 10-12 car there so our turnout is low on that weekend. I am hoping to do the Grand Am weekend @ NJMP in July, I look forward to meeting you. Let me know if you have any questions about the car, I am not by any means an expert on these cars but I do enjoy working on them.

Engine out, a few oil leaks I want to deal with, so I started a separate thread here: Oil leaks/damp spots - help diagnose?
