Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Its been a long 2 years but the resurrection of Rocky is complete (almost). Still need to do something about the seats but the rest came together nicely. I drove Rocky down to Hershey this past weekend and it was flawless, 6 hours each way. In fact my wife has decided to
try
and claim Rocky as hers. I've gotten a lot of great advice here and done a lot of lurking and researching to get this Boxster brought back from dead.
Rocky was flooded in hurricane Sandy and now is back to almost new:
Lets see...
2700.00 for the Boxster
450.00 for computer/immobilizer/key set
Changed all fluids and filters
Used about 12 cans of electrical cleaner
Roughly 200.00 in various parts
300.00 for new tires (take offs at a tuner shop)
So... around 5k so far and probably 200 hours of work.
Still need to do the seats, replace some missing trim items and touch up a few paint chips.
Really nice picture with the white blossoms in the back. :-) Just curious - When you bought it, it came with a flood title? What about the airbag computer/controller? Where does that sit and does it need to be switched out?
Not really. There was evidence of water in both the trunks and the interior compartment. But I couldn't find any evidence of infiltration in the engine or tranny. I still get a faint whiff of algae when driving...

I hit Woody up earlier. I may actually try and redo these myself. Why not, I've done everything else so far. Anyone else recover seats? Is there a preferred vendor for the leather kits?
