This is it — the final chapter in the journey to bring my forgotten Porsche Boxster 986 back to life. After sitting abandoned for years, I’ve spent this entire series fixing everything from worn‑out suspension to electrical gremlins, chasing leaks, replacing tired parts, and undoing a decade of neglect.
In this finale, I tackle the last jobs needed to finally get the Boxster back on the road. From final checks and fixes to the moment of truth… will it actually drive again? And more importantly — is it finally ready for its MOT after all these years?
This episode brings the whole story together: the struggle, the setbacks, the wins, and the satisfaction of seeing a once‑rotting Porsche take its first proper steps toward the road again.
Thanks for following the build — let’s finish this.
