A fixer upper
My friend at the shop snagged this. For better or worse?http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1674309740.jpg

Details sir, need details..

Well I don't know the full story, it was crowbarred, both trunks front and back were forced open with a crowbar. The key was smashed open......
A fixer upper that should be do-able. Not an "S"http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1674316163.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1674316209.jpg |
Looks pretty early and not an S, so likely a '97-99. '97 and 98 were 2.5L. 6K will buy the best of the best. IDK what the 2 lids will cost, and the bumpers may need work. Will need work. And paint. So, basically, the car is a total insurance wise.
Hope the drive train and electronics are OK. Otherwise that is a sub 2K race car project. And only worth that because of parting out potential. I hope your buddy got it free. More: can't see under the snow but certainly damage to the LF fender, some that can be seen like at the door. |
Crowbarred....
|
The Boxster is a great chassis but as already pointed out there is potential big $$$ repairs lurking under the snow .
|
Can he still get parts for that? Not sure they still make quonset huts.
|
I have an 01 S. Just an amazing car. Congratulations!

Google must be watching me read PPOT, this guy's channel just popped up on my Youtube suggestions.
https://www.youtube.com/@JRGarage/videos He's bought a couple 986, a 987s, and a 981. Here's his latest 986. Warning: He's annoying. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0JGkidD2o54" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/V3hJ77rb8KM" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/htQYj6L-A6w" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
The guy in the video did really well on that Boxster...the OP's friend, not so much.

Hope it was free or close to free...

The Boxster is a brilliant car. I may get another some day. My 01S was my first Porsche. My current stable is a bit older. The 1st gen Boxster was small in comparison to even a 914. As much as I loved that thing, at 6'1" it was a tad too small for me. Good luck to your buddy. Hopefully it works out well.

Well thank you for your encouragement I'll pass it on. I think we're good to go.
