It’s been over two weeks since my Porsche 986 Boxster has been at the paint shop. It has been out twice so far and returned for unsatisfactory work. The first time was for lack of “buff and cut” work and the most recent 2nd time due to poor quality work with particles and paint runs.
This will be the third time it’s going back in for re-work.
Took in the Beater Boxster for some bodywork and a paint job. It will be interesting to see if they can get this hole in the rear bumper fixed. A constant eye sore for me. The front of the car looked as if the previous owner drove directly behind a gravel truck for hundreds of miles. The top of the roof had a lot of paint damage too along with the sides.
As a matter of fact the whole car had scratches and dents not just one particular area.
Slept over night at the clubhouse to keep watch over daughters reception venue. Proly slept an hour total..

I took the DJI up to 400 feet above ground level and had the GoPro 4 Silver set to 2 seconds intervals between each shot. Even though the screen blanks out every two seconds I’m still able to compose my frame and composition.
The next time I do night time photos I want to get closer to the downtown district area, possibly shoot some video too rather just concentrating on stills.
I’ve been having Red Bull and crumb cake for so many years I can’t even remember when I started.
Took Beater Boxster into my mechanics shop for an oil/filter and 02 sensor replacement. I brought along a magnet to check if there were any ferrous material trapped inside of the filter.
I picked up my Porsche 986 Boxster earlier today and stopped this spot a block away from my mechanics shop. Took a quick poser photo of the car.
I’ve always been bugged looking at the Boxster’s rear deck. It seemed as if somebody exploded a box of golf balls inside the trunk as there were small dents coming from the inside. I found a black Boxster S model deck on craigslist and called the seller up.
We made arrangements for the weekend and I drove over for pickup. The seller was an interesting a guy as he was into making sport car replicas.
When I got to his place he showed me his Boxster S model that he had cut in half and extended 11 inches! I can’t wait to see his final work.
The swap out only took a few minutes, nothing really to it. The replacement deck had all the hardware already mounted. I had to use a little elbow grease waxing off the “Boxster S” logo that was removed from and sold to somebody else. That worked out fine since I don’t own that model.
Well.. my mechanic pulled out the clutch after evaluating the car and found that both the clutch and flywheel were toast. I’ll have them replaced along with other parts found to be bad.
This sucks big time!
Every so often my wifey buys lumpia at her school, $20 for 70 pieces! This is the Shanghai style so they are not the larger rolls we are accustomed to but if you eat enough of these suckers it’s all good!
