Decided to clear out my garage to see if I could fit the porsche in. I got the porsche in but my god did I struggle to get out of the car. Needed to put the seat back to get out. I dont think it will be in the garage all that often. Maybe winter only.

I did however notice while steering the car started to make a squeeling and motor churning sort of noise. Sort of like the power steering pulsing or something. Not good at describing these things.

Photos like that please me, car looks great. :thumbright:

Is it funny, or peculiar, how clean and shiny things make me happy?

noisey powersteering - worth having a look at the belt to make sure its not jumping around everywhere and maybe the fluid level?

Yeah, I will have a look tomorrow when I figure out where to look lol. I am a complete noob to any sort of thing like this. It goes in for service and inspection on Wednesday but its a little drive so want to ensure it gets there in one piece.

Been doing a lot of tightening during the last week, had to loosen a few where I went wrong or forgot to do other things first. Got lots of spare nuts and bolts still in the box! Amazing how much you remember subliminally when putting back together. If it looks wrong, it probably is!

Finally bolted up all the body panels today and it now looks exactly as it should inside and out, except for the fact its still missing its engine. Lets hope that turns up this week and I'm back in the driving seat by the 12th April. Some deadline but I hope its doable. May even be in a position to arrive at the track day on the 20th even if I can't go on track due to running in.

Spent a bit of time giving the 944S2 a wash to freshen it up, changed the temp sensor to see if that would solve the 2 attempts at starting after running the car & then parking it for around half an hour, then its taking 2 attempts each time before it starts, does exactly the same every time!!!
:D

Have had a look as suggested. The fluid is about half to three quarters full. The belt however is slipping badly everything I turn the steering wheel. Not sure if its the belt slipping or the damn thing stopping but something is happening. This is a recent thing though as not noticed it or the noise before.

MBC is a bit of a stretch away, or is that so the passenger can have a play to make driving more exciting ?. :lol:
