thanks for the comments.. i really appreciate em no matter who it comes from. anyway:<p>the paint job i got with a hookup from a friend who works at a place called 'candy autobody'. the original quote price was $3500 (i was planning to scan the receipt in) but one of the many advantages in living in souther california is getting hookups with some shops with great worksmanship.<p>atlantamx3 - are you referring to the broken gauge cluster? yes i know heh. that thing broke on me around half a year ago and instead of fixing it, i just put a digital speedometer in the pillar pod and rpm tach. i plan on installing the temp gauge and fuel level digital gauge in the glove compartment or somewhere hidden. the odometer still works however.

dude, nice job on the paint, i like it now specially that the big dent is gone.
I have several constructive friendly comments, so dont get me wrong.<p>I am not feelin the fins on the front bumper. You need some serious make over on the interior, all the gauges and stuff seems like an F-14. :D
Whats that condenser i see in the opening of the front bumper (it seems its not mounted properly).
try to get rid of the license plate somehow, or put it behind the windshield like i did.
And for the last comment, the pix are way too low-res and i dont feel the color @ all, I would be more than happy to host all your pictures on my site @ www.sikbluemx3.com ;its a website i registered for a year and its going to waste since i dont have anything to host on it, so lets work the $hit out of it. :D
And at the end, i am very happy to see another mx3 building up.

yes i know about the interior heh. thats my next project. almost done just need front seats, reupholstered rears, carpet, and center consoles.<p>that cooler in the front is a transmission cooler. its coming off when i do the mtx swap but if it still helps, then i might mount it under the motor bay or somewhere efficient.<p>i originally had the license plate behind the windshield but cops around here don't like that too much. its all good though.<p>the pics are low res because of the online car show servers are restrictive. i have higher resolution pics and if you're willing to host :D i will contact you asap. it'd be nice to show everyone the higher res pics. anyways thanks for the first set of helpful comments heh.

O ok. Hey you should make a big picture gallery for mx-3's on your site if you have nothing else to put on. Hit my Cardoman site if you want to start it up. ;)
