Out with the old and in with the new! A $10 key bought on eBay and an $15 oem key badge from Porsche makes a world of difference.

About 50 zip ties later and the bumper is on. Using some drift inspired bumper stitches the bumper is kind of in one piece. Good enough fix til the new bumper comes in!

To address the front end damage, the drivers side is slightly pushed in due to the car hitting a ditch going 10mph. Nothing important is bent or out of wack, car drives straight and it is all cosmetic. The radiator was cracked so the car has a new drivers side radiator. Airbags did deploy so those will be needed replaced as well.

Total parts list to fix the front:

Front bumper
Hood
Side markers
Radiator

Really a small list and the most expensive thing will be taking it to a frame shop to get the front pulled out, I will keep you guys updated on what all goes on with making the Boxster look new again!

1 week into ownership and there is already a list of parts bought. The car has 120,000 miles so most of they parts are basic maintenance.

Air Oil Seperator
Spark plugs
Air filter
Acc. Belt

All these came to a total of 170. The bottom bolt on the AOS was stripped so I had to order a bolt extractor set and I ordered new rubber O-rings for the AOS hoses. That added another $20 to the total

I’m the future the car will need cabin filter, new brake fluid, gearbox fluid, and come spring a fresh oil change.

The front end was slightly damaged before I bought it but nothing crazy, will keep you all updated with what it takes to make the front end look new again!
