You have to title your worklog appropriately.

Are you doing the dash and floor zebra as well? Why?

LOL..... i LOVED the 70's! Im doing this car like i feel. (A little wild on the inside)
The doors were a bit tougher then i thought they'd be.
I got a head ache in the first 5 minutes of the drivers door.
I should have started with the passanger door, cuz you can tell which
door i started with. One door has a handle and the other has a hole for your hand.
So they were both a little different. They turned out much better then i thought.
I can't wait to get them in the car. Next to the seats, they look really good.
I need to post an MOV on youtube with 70's jazz playing in the background..... LOL!

They look good.
IMHO, the interior would look good with just the printed part covered, like your doors, and black carpet. Like, if your seats were leather on the outside, and Zebra on the inside. I'm not a fan of crazy dashboards, but it's not my car! I'm looking forward to pics when it's done.. Maybe I'll like it.

it doesnt look as crazy as u think..... dash is last cuz i actually wanted white, but there is no damage to dash, so i may not cover it at all.

I think the Zebra print will suit you. Now just wear your Zebra bikini and I'll bet no one will have anything but praise. :lol: I can tell you one thing. That print is far nicer than some of the painted interiors I've seen. You could try using the zebra print on the dash by making a dash cover for just the top of the dash. You'd need to use a non slip backing like that stuff for RV's that stops the dishes from rolling around. I love white as well. I think it's the best colour for the MX-3 IMO. All in all I give you two buns up. :2thumbsup:

"To whom is their own..."???

is that a new saying? I'm not familiar with that one.

I don't care for the Zebra thing, but I'll give you mad props for loving the MX-3 as it should be loved.
