mini cooper wall thread, version 2

[pimpedout97x 4]

painted the flekstone a little further down as i dont know how the flush baffle will be, so i painted it for the hell of it

made the bottom trim panel.

theres a few gaps on both sides, not worth wasting that much more birch for. ill cut a little shim piece from a scrap piece of birch and glue it on the edge of the trim piece to fill that gap, then cover it with suede or vinyl. i think im gonna wrap it in headliner fabric first to add some padding/thickness to it around the edges, and itll make around the cupholder console thing look more rounded too.

thanks.

i painted black over the port, it looks OK....not sure if im liking the flat that i used, i have a can of gloss i might shoot a little area with gloss black and see how it looks... i sort of like the gloss anyways becuase it looks "wet" since its got the gloss to it. the flat sort of looks cheap now that i painted over the texture.

Looks great so far!!!

I think you should try satin black. it will look 10x better than gloss.

just my opinion though...

circles ill cut tomorow. the circles are drawn on the back, i just didnt feel like messing with the router tonight. i got IN the box, had a friend put the trim panel on, and i drew it from the inside with a pen, and a light hanging through the port LOL

an update!

[pimpedout97x 4]

ive been slacking sorry.. lol

i had to make a new trim panel for the rear, its getting covered on thursday. reason for it being redone (it was already vinyled) was becuase i used that brown hardboard wood, with the smooth finish, and the 3M glue didnt stick well to it. well i used 1/4" sanded ply (looks like like the 3/4" birch finish) very light, cheap (11 bux for a whole 4x8 sheet) and im using good glue this time with an air gun and compressor. also thursday im picking up a brand new sundown 3000d 2008 model!!!

Don't use woodglue. It will never hold. Use a good quality contact cement and follow the directions.

i got the same stuff used on my headliner bought from an upholstery shop. 20 bux for a whole gallon and its great glue.

Dap landau roof adhesive? Best stuff I have used but if you got it for $20 a gallon that's a freaking ridiculous deal.

[pimpedout97x 4]

its Dap but its called "wellwood" i think. white wraper with like a baby blue colored writing on it. yellow glue. i love that stuff

[pimpedout97x 4]
