We're about to build one, and I for one can't wait to get started. Here's Magnus looking over the real thing at Amelia as well as a link to some righteous inspiration.

Good points Steve.

Look forward to seeing your project.

I've been meaning to start a thread here about old 911's! I saw Magnus walking around at SEMA but didn't get a chance to talk to him. I was talking to a parts vendor when he walked by and the guy I was talking to's jaw dropped and said something like "whoa, look at that guy!" He was surprised when I told him what Magnus does.

Can any Lat-g members with older 911's post pictures of their rides with specs? I assume someone on here must have one...

thanks!

My bad.....appears it wasn't a commission, though it appeared to have Jay's attention.

2200 lbs 275 hp 8lbs per.....the car has to feel like a kart compare against a 3500 lb Camaro.

Singers cost BANK! Like $500k bank...but there's something about the builds like Singer and Magnus are doing that just makes me appreciate Porsches more than I ever could stock.

I just got to watch this vid. Enjoyed it very much. Thanks for posting.

Agreed. I've always loved those older 911's... last thing I need to do is start looking to build one of those too. :snapout:
