2002 Porsche Boxster

We keep it quiet, but Chip can work on “new” stuff, too, having made his living as a dealership mechanic for quite a while. The owner of this Boxster knows Chip and wanted all new coolant hoses and new Bilsteins. There are quite a few hoses in a Boxster that carry coolant from the radiators in the front to the motor in the almost-back. I was impressed with the provisions for motor access Porsche made, but getting to everything was still… interesting.

See the new yellow thing?

Don’t worry, this car has a bumper. It’s remarkable how many things need to be removed to do these two projects. It’s not like changing your air filter.

They sure do look better with the bumper.

Patience is a virtue when you’re working on cars.
