Factory reversing sensors, body and wheels look to be in good nick, or is it a 10 footer? OK from 10 feet, gets worse the closer you get. That said swarf in the oil is not likely to be low hassle. Are you planning to get an oil analysis done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So project!! Mis-understood the 'swarf' issue. Not a bad project, you've had motors out of these before IIRC. Some parts, bolts, consumables and gaskets (plus blood, sweat and tears) and he's got a pretty decent looking Boxster for say £2300 to £2500. Plus a bit of salvage from the fubar engine parts to off set may be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he’s in at 1900 all in , but if we are going to do a proper job , to make it desirable, there will be the usual RMS , new clutch , check inspect/replace IMS , brakes suspension whatever required to ensure a good result come selling time, but trust me if I’ve worked on it , it will be right, so once I bounce a figure out expect no quibble!

Yes he’s a star , when replacement engine goes back he will do the IMS , RMS, new clutch etc, will be a good motor once it’s done and up for sale, probably spring once I’ve made it totally bang on 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbop90 Posted December 5, 2023 Report Share Posted December 5, 2023 Fair play, lots of patience and crawling about required!? Are you going to take the old engine apart to make it easier to handle now it's out the way? I've seen a few people on youtube lower engines using multiple jacks but then I've always wondered what happens next re. getting it onto a separate stand or a pallet etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
