A little more info...

"...Magnus Walker, the rebel Porsche customizer who turned a hobby into an obsession, and an obsession into a successful business. From a workshop in downtown Los Angeles, Magnus obsessively harvests fragments from donor 911s, grafting them onto vintage frames to create one-off automobiles with the spirit of Ferdinand Porsche but an ethos entirely his own."

Saw that issue and flipped through it. Guess I should have read more about him.

On a side note, that same issue shows a UGR Lambo that was totaled. Some pawn broker owned it and they had a spread on his car which included the Lambo before it was wrecked. Gorgeous car. Shame to see it smashed

Thank Skip - The Urban Outlaw video was inspiring. My first job was a shop boy at the local Porsche dealer in the summer of '76 and I've been passionate about them since. :thumbsup:

Definitely a pasionate car guy , I think we all sit there alone and look at our projects for hours at a time reflecting, thinking and feeling what is next, how it would work , look etc . I know I do, I get lost in garage for 12 hours or so and forget about all the madness around me while I'm on the building zone. Just dont get that time often enough. I think that is the number one reason I'm in the hobbie ,
Very well put together story :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

that was phenomenal. It's great to see someone with the passion and drive he has. A bit reminiscent of some people on here. Great post!

Thanks Jeff. :thumbsup:

From your signature I see you share a commonality with Magnus...he has cars in pieces too. :D
