Ugh, what a disaster you started off with. How can anyone do that to a Porsche?



Big improvement, especially the interior. :)

Looks really good!!



But man..to do that to a type S on top of that...



Just for my own curiosity...what`s that at the bottom of the gas pedal. Corrosion?? Salt?

Ok I couldn`t take it...had to go check and clean whatever that was...even tho it`s going under the mats...which are drying from being shampooed...forgot to mention that... :) Anyway I`m not sure what it was, but I got it. :nana: But now it looks like there`s other dirty stuff down there...who knows, I could spend all day cleaning this car...but it`s a big improvement from where it was!

I hope the owner will be pleased. I certainly would keep a ride like that a little cleaner, but oh well. I really like the interior of the boxster. Weird, but the key goes in on the left...first time I`ve started a car left handed.

Nice Job. It`s hard to believe sometimes what people will do to a nice car like that...
