Usually I don't condone painting the interior, but with yours, I think it would look good if you took the cloth off the doors, and rear panels, and painted that part to match.

so you guys were probably wondering why my arm-rest was missing from those pics. it was busted up pretty good and had a huge crack down the center, which kept pinching my arm everytime i tried to use it, so i decided to re-do it.
i still had some fibreglass/resin kickin around so i caked it on, a little bit of bondo to fill in some holes, and this is what ive come up with so far...its ALOT stronger now

I have still yet to decide what i want to do with it when its done, whether to paint it black, green to match the dash, or i was even thinking of wrapping it in some leather or something..IDEAS ANYONE?

I'd say go green with it. It'll accent the other painted interior well.

so yesterday this old man decided to singnal and change lanes without looking, i had to floor it to try and get past him, i was able to save the drivers side of my car. I cant say the same for my bumper/rim..he managed to BARELY clip my back end..luckily i can buff out the bumper, but he scratched up my rim, and i didnt notice till today but he also peirced my sidewall a little bit..there was more damage to his lil kia rental car so i milked the guy for cash on the spot and left..now im thinkin i shoulda listened to the old guy and went through insurance..coulda got me some new wheels :shrug:..on another note i havent been able to get much more done to the mx..ive been spending the last few days helping out a buddy with his 96 mx3..he wants to get it all nice to put up for sale, its a v6 5spd with ONLY 130,000km!!

I say try to sell to someone on here. That way, when you have money again, you might be able to buy it back. Well, it only works if the person wants to sell it back, lol.
Also, don't sell to any random person unless they show up in an mx-3 to look at it. Then you can inspect their's and see if it was maintained. You'll be able to tell if the person is worthy. :D
