well, I worked in a garage for a bit, so its tough to distinguish between what I did there and DIY jobs...
first DIY I did on my own car was touching up scratches on the front of my mom's volvo station wagon (the car I learned to drive in...we weren't all lucky enough to start off in a porsche...)
first DIY I'll be doing on the porsche is replacing the shift boot, probably followed shortly thereafter by replacing the seats

First Porsche DIY was replacing a worn shift lever.
First ever DIY on my own car was an altenator on a '79 280ZX. There was tons of room to work on that car compared to my 951.

I think on the 924S it was either replacing the muffler with a SuperTrapp, which has since been replace with a cat back from SFR, or it was deleting the AC. I can't remember. Most of my previous DIY had to do with high end bicycles.

The first month I had my 944 I did:
-new sunroof hinges
-new door handle parts/seals
-sport seats
-fixed loose noise making objects behind glovebox
-new intake boot/K&N filter
-coolant flush/new hoses
-rebuild AC compressor
-h4 headlights
Hardest thing yet was getting the F*cking AC compressor back in.

Thought I'd add since mine is a little unusual...
First DIY was an old cattle sprayer that needed a little bit of motor R&R and new plumbing routed. I was 14 and after a summer had the coolest water gun ever!

First DIY was on my first (real) car, an '81 MB 300D. I changed the PS belt.
A few months later, I had my first 944 DIY: clutch. It took me 6 months.
