After that flame job on my Magnus Walker tribute idea, I am changing it up a bit. This is going to be an Outlaw build. I'm keeping the patina where I like it and cleaning up the rest. Getting the mechanicals solid. Maybe a tip towards racing. Already has Turbo Tie rods. New seals and gaskets where needed. Bought $250 in goodies from 914rubber to start on 914 day. New windshield has been obtained. It's already taking on a new life.

2.0 Emblem was roached. I sanded and painted. Then, I distressed it to look like the 914 badge. Cleaned up the tail with 600 wet sand and polish compound. Trunk actually looking good with a little shine.

When the cameras are off Magnus Walker is one of us. When they are on, he's at work.

The 914 has always been a "have it your way" car. Part of its charm.

BTW - once you get it where you want it, don't sell it.

Look what came today. Slightly used momo D35 steering wheel I bought off ebay. Had the horn button. I may switch to the Porsche crest? Brand new momo hub 8002 came from LTB Autosports in FL. They also sell new steering wheels and horn buttons. Time to get rid of the roached out stock wheel. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Deck lid hinge mount was cracked and sagging on the passenger side. My friend down the road did a nice weld up repair. Hit it with some spray primer. Now the lid opens, closes and sits like it should. Also replaced the rear window rubber/deck lid molding from 914rubber.

Looking good! That engine lid seal from 914rubber is great isn't it? I needed one for years and finally changed it when pieces started breaking off. Never knew the rubber was supposed to be so soft!

The build continues. Cleaning the engine bay grease and grime. Sanded and painted the intake runners. Rustoleum Industrial grey is a pretty good match to the the OEM finish. Removing a lot of PO electrical wiring. O2 sensor wires and head temp sensors. The new exhaust has no bung for the sensor. the head temp sensors had spark plug washers removed and it looked like bad seals on the plugs. Plus the wires through the tins were frayed. Potential shorts and difficult to swap plugs due to clearance. Those gauges will be removed as well.

Lets be honest it was the weight distribution . Way to much in the passenger seat

It is the Magnus polarizing effect. Take the parts you like about customizing friend!

Looks like magnus was lucky by 12". That lift gate post would have ended his life that day if he had any more or less traction.

And yet, he still drives like an A hole.


The streets are not the place to try and show a cars performance... a closed course or track would be the place to give proper demonstration.

I’m referring to his driving during last years WCR. He had to pass us all on a double yellow on blind curves in a black 911 turbo. Total “look at me, I have a Porsche”, move. If it was anyone else or it was a bmw or corvette, guys would have said it was a dick move. But it was Magnus, urban A hole.

Remind me to never share the road with this guy. Zero situational awareness. Going to kill himself or some innocent bystander.

Steuspeed, on my Mac lap top, photos on desk top, just go up to tools, then size and pick a custom setting. Mine take a 2 to 3 meg file down to 400K, They look good and can post 5 to 10 photos at a time. Best, Mark
