I love Magnus' stuff. And I think it's awesome he's branching out to other cars like the 914 (he's looking for a 928 too). The funny thing is, and I'm sure it's already been discussed, but he would have been slammed (maybe he was, I never bother to look) 3-4 years ago for what he does to cars, now everyone is tripping over themselves to praise him, meet him, etc... I also love the seeming influence he has on the market.
I had an 83SC a few years back and did some "magnus" stuff to it and struggled to get $15500 for it. Couldnt touch that car now for less than $30K. But back then I was chastized (by some) for improving it with lighter seats, duck tail, wheels, exhaust, etc... all things that made the car better, lighter, faster, and handle better. I'll never understand this market and the things that influence it.
That said, cheers to Magnus and his success. I hope he inspires more people to step outside the lines and do what they want to their car, and inspire others to appreciate it like they have with Magnus' work.
I for one am in the process of freshing up a 68 912 "to my liking". In searching parts I actually came across a louvered deck lid from Aase, but sadly it's over $2k so it's aint happening.
Always loved the 914, had one years ago, super fun. I'd of bought another by now but I need back seats for kiddies.
