Isn't she a beauty, in fact Magnus said she is to be build not as precious as his STR for useability. He has hit the nail on the head, if guys build there cars to nut and bolt like as we mentioned his STR, we become over precious and scared to use. Which reminds me of a certain person!

Anyway, here is a few more pics of the SWB arrival. This is the colour combo he is having on this car, silver with a splash of red here and there on his bonnet and rear tailgate. Isn't she a beauty?









Oh, please excuse Magnus eating in the picture with his Subway sandwich.....he does eat you know, he is human you know

This is a rare occasion seeing Magnus smile with a silent laugh. He says he doesn't smile much, only in the inside

Those tartan / check trimmed bucket seats in the SWB are perfect!

Makes me want to fit retro seats to the 964!

Thanks for the photos Norm

Yes Chris, looks like its coming in a big fashion way. As you know this had been happening on a lot of Mk1 and mk2 golfs. I hate to say it as I used to be in the club, but the Grounded cars had them. Greg had some interlogos trim in his 964, Jamie in his green mk4 in tweed, Tim Vincent in his Mk2 20vt, Jason Buckley mk1 and Jamie Fagans Jetta.

I've got some done on a set 964 seats I need to put into a car.

The cars outside are mainly used as spares for his projects inside. Am sure Magnus will use every inch of metal on these cars to graft others as you probably seen on some of the cars built. Waste not want not as they say!
