Just bought a ivory white 74 2.0. It's a bit rough, but perfect car for this build. Anyone know the red and blue colors of the 277 car? Im' guessing guards red and? Will need a new windshield. Needs a black seat cushion. Looking for a prototipo momo and hub. Worn a bit is okay or a Magnus Walker momo for reasonable $.

Interesting ....

Add pics of your 914. Rough? How is the frame?
If you have questions about the colors used, just email him directly. His email is on his Instagram biography.

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.

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.

Although, I do not agree with everything he does or has to say. I do appreciate the fact that he is not the “stereotypical Porsche owner”. I like to think of us 914 people in particular, to be some of the nicest, down to earth car people on the planet.
I tend to notice that most of us appreciate most cars and motorized vehicles..
I am thankful to be part of this community.

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.

Don’t get famous.

The OP asked a simple question and within three posts it turns into a bonfire. Give it a rest people.

OK - I’m sure if you do some searching there will be color info on his builds. Dont understand the interior question - are you asking about color or material or seat design? 911 type seats don’t readily fit into a 914. Looks like guard red and gulf blue to me.

On that crash - he is lucky he didn’t kill himself or worse someone else. Stupid, arrogant and moronic all rolled into one.

Black interior is in good shape except dash and driver seat cushion. I have a 914rubber dash laying around. Need a cushion replacement. Gulf blue is a good guess. Looks a bit light. Maybe it's Golf Blue?

Not a fan of MW after his Hotwheels sale stunt. Promised to have a good supply and when everyone showed up to get one he only had a dozen or so, about 75 people stood in line for hours to get nothing but the chance to buy some of his crappy "Merch" ! He wasn't even there.

Be creative and do you own design it will be way better !!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Man, this is exactly what I was thinking! Do your own thing. Or if you have to copy do something significant from Porsche's racing history maybe. Not some dude that's doing the same sort of thing. I'm doing a one off thing myself.. my own personal "Livery". Heck your's doesn't look bad the way it is, honestly.
