That sensor in the front is the ambient temp sensor. It’s supposed to go there, it’s only purpose is to display outside temp, and can be used for the “auto” climate control settings to read off. In some vehicles I’ve worked on it can be used for the engine control unit to accurately measure outside air temps.

That sensor is probably external temp sensor to measure ambient temp ;) also check underneath the car for damage, those fork lifts like to do nasty things to car bodies
Give you a run down on the 2000 Camry LE 4 cylinder. I'm pissed because I still don't know what's wrong with the windows and doors locks. I did find out about one thing on my own. The door jams are connected to the key ignition some how. I don't know if it's a relay or a modular. Well I'm going to find out. I need your advice. Caleb at Sergeant's tire wants me to go to 17 X 8 satin black 5 spoke rims. Right now I have 16 X 7 stock steel rims with 205/55R16 tires. My question should I go with the 17 X 8 rims or stay with what I have? Please respond thanks much.
A Boxster S with 70K miles in great shape sells for $12-14K USD here in the US, for manual probably 2500 less for auto any salvaged car usually and should have at leasat a 33% discount at the very least IF yo can prove it was repaired with all OEM parts. Fore the most part I've seen salvaged cars sell for roughly half their private party selling range here so kniwing that its hard to sell salvaged cars and they command 33% less value it is hard t actuall make money especially if it requires paintwork and you need to farm that out... no money to be made
Atleast you get a video out of it so that makes it worth it. Market value is for a car with no crash history, unless you keep it on the hush. If a shop were to fix it the car wouldn't be worth it, so make sense why it never got fixed
red and green eqauls christmas colours or toffee apple colours haha. idk if you guys old enough to remember the toffee apple candy. do not want a chirstmas car or a toffee apple themed paint code
SKITTLEMOBILE . . . rides again? Comparing currency exchange rates suggests the English-speaking world should move to Australia. And buy wrecked Porches, natch.
"fully complete " yeahhhh right it isn't. stop saying it is when you haven't even fixed the other things and gotten body panels spray painted the air bags and that replace. nice try mate.

I never would’ve thought you would have bought a Porsche but at least the Lancergene has a friend 😂
Hahahah
😂 definitely got a laugh out of me bro I needed that!
Can't wait to see this up and driving
Great job, there Rex.
I am looking forward to seeing the whole car completed fully restored and finished.
Plastic welds - for strength/reinforcement put some steel wool in it and to smooth it off go over the weld with the long side of the soldering iron
awesome price for the porsche. and even way better with those simple fixes and it driving straight! great deal. and interesting series
That's the right place for the sensor. It's the ambient temp sensor that measures outside air temp
Your channel is going to grow so much from this series. Love it mate
Haha no it’s not
Less than 15% of his subscribers even care about the Porsche
Up and running and its only ep2!? you'll be done in no time.

@10:57 the correct term is "percussive maintenance" ;P
you should keep the porshe if u can. it's looks are sick
That sensor will probably be ambient air temp, either for HVAC or for a temp gauge in cluster etc
Thanks man! I’ll have a look into it
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too
Youre right
@@RexH sensor clips into small circle bracket in grill on front bumper
Are you able to see the engine of the Porsche Boxster?
Nobody expected you to get a Porsche lol... Love your work and dedication 👍

Finally some luck, after all the tomfoolery with the skylines haha. How much would a manual swap cost??
Ikr !
