junkyard quit calling. To my surprise, the claim payment for my “total loss” was more than the repair estimates. A blessing in disguise! I decided to have Eveland repair a few blemishes from previous damages and had some upholstery work. Then I had to wait. My beloved Boxster sat in my garage, covered in stain while I waited for their schedule to open up. Then I waited for all their prep work to be done. And finally I waited for the repairs to start. As much as it hurt to see the car covered in stain, I think it was worse seeing it taken apart behind the repair shop. Ugh. This was the low point of the whole ordeal. Finally, on a sunny day in late March, my wait was over. My Boxster was ready to be picked up. It was a beautiful day and the car looked great. The repairs had taken about 6 weeks. I don’t drive it much in the winter, so I was glad the “painting” hadn’t happened in the summer. We are very pleased with the way this all worked out, but wouldn’t want anyone else to have to endure this kind of potential tragedy. If you see me at a KCRPCA event, be sure to say “Hey! Nice paint!” 2000 Porsche Boxster (986) 125,000 miles - Charley PROGRESS WAS SLOW BUT THE FINAL RESULTS WERE SPECTACULAR 32 Der Sportwagen
