Well, with my anniversary pay coming from Wegmans I am able to purchase one of the more expensive items for the car. While the windshield still remains missing, the seal is what’s important. Without it, I can’t install the windshield at all. $290 for the windshield, but I know I can get that at SafeLife.

The past month saw the weather break, and with that comes the abilty to work on the car. I’ve gotten a little further in its rebuild.

First, we managed to mount the camshaft onto the head without any problems. Was a fairly straightforward process with no funny business. From there, we’ve focused on inventorying everything laying around, trying to find out what was missing and what was needed.

Well, I managed to secure enough funds to purchase the new clutch for the 944. It, hopefully, will be here soon.

I bought the car a little over 2 years ago, and never remembered to have it titled in PA. Well, I finally went back in April 2003 to try. I bought the car on Ebay from Georgia, remember. They told me that the car hadn’t been reassigned to me correctly, and therefore they could not transfer the title at that time. I’d have to contact the car place that sold it to me and go from there.

All this time, I had completely forgotten to change the title of the 944 into my name! Today, I took a trip to Tri County Tag Service and attempted to do so. Apparently, when I bought the car from the guy in Georgia, the title hadn't been reassigned to me. They made the phone calls for me. On the way is the paperwork to reassign the car to me. Easy enough. So, a few more days until I can get it titled to me.

After many weeks of waiting and waiting for Canada Post and the United States Mail Service to deliver the ordered part, it has arrived. It's the 3-piece oil pressure release valve, crucial to the engine performing as intended...that is, going forward without risk of failure.

The oil pump went on, along with the oil pan. Pretty smooth install. Had a few hangups here and there, trying to locate missing bolts and things. That's always the worst part.

Extra hour of daylight for six months! Actually, it's just a more convenient time for the extra hour. But I am not complaining. It allows me to feel less tired while working on the car. Why? I don't know. It's psychological in some way. It's just not as much fun working on it when it's pitch black.
