They come up for sale sometimes, used. I sold one for $120 or so last year that I found in a junkyard.

Before I do my rebuild, I've been cleaning of the engine parts. Here is the before and after (well after one round of cleaning) of my block

1) Got Classic car insurance on my 944 NA today for $75.00 per year, full coverage!
2) My wife has smaller hands than I do ... she fixed my electric window switch, took it apart and set the ball bearings back in place, had to use a dab of grease to hold the bearings on the springs.
3) Got new wind deflector and hinges (sunroof).
4) Went on a nice drive on a twisty road.

Otto,
I've only had the car since November. 75K miles approximately. Put on bilsteins all the way around, then a couple weeks later it shredded a rod bearing. I've been learning a ton during the disassembly process. The only bad that I've come across has been needing to replace a couple connecting rods and a crankshaft, but I scored those for great deals. That and saving up for the rebuild kit, which is when I decided to just start cleaning the thing to pass the time. I have the kit now, but I'm going to clean it a bit more before installing everything.

Got a car cover for my 944 today. Looking forward to it staying cleaner, since it's a weekend car for me.

JC Taylor. Mine isn't a DD and since it is over 19 years old, I was able to get classic car insurance on it. I had to prove that my wife and I have other cars insured as DD's. Any insurance agent should be able to get this for you also. My agreed value was $4,000 so it was right at the minimum premium level. Higher agreed values will cost more of course, but even so, classic car insurance is a bargain. Check into it.
