I am absolutely loving it. I have cut new door panels and had chosen a crazy cool sugar skull pattern fabric, but was hung up on the headliner. Gonna look around for old blinds, etc. May have to take a page from one of you guys' book!

3M adheisive to hold them in place temp and then hot glue along the edges (top, bottom & sides) then hot glue in between the slats where the board is curved. Then I just screwed them to the doors like a regular door/kick panel. btw, cutting the holes for the head light buckets was a PITA!!

It looks good, I'd be tempted to do something to my interior like that, as it isn't the prettiest. I won't deal with pulling the headliner off tho', I think it looks okay enough.
Voodooking, do you have any pics showing the wood reaching the rear window? |

Ah - cut them to length, tuck them in and the tension holds them in??
Way cool

believe it or not - window blinds @ Walmart, K-mart, Target, etc. I used the same ones on my DC for the door/kick panels only I kept the strings in place. Mine just aren't as dark or it could be the different cameras.
|
those cant be the same |
might not be the exact colors, but pretty much close to what I was given with the strings ( I was just happy they were cut into flat slats) I originally wanted some I found at Pier 1 that had hints of green in them but were kinda pricey to chop up for a headliner, so when my buddy was throwing away his, I wasnt complaining they were free.
but you can buy some of the same types from home improvement stores in other finishes,mine just have a yellowy/orange cast to them from whatever stain was on them (unless it was just the natural color of that particular bamboo) I really never had a theme to my interior, just slapped some stuff in it here and there to make it eclectic and fun. |
I used the leftover maple blinds from my kitchen to do mine after I saw your car.
The trick is to keeping those things lined up and flat.

the flat slat style is what I am looking for. I thought about the blinds but wondered if there was somewhere else I could get the slats. I guess it is time to keep an eye out for them on Craigslist.

Voodooking, do you have any more pics of the interior of your bug? I think the thing is awesome, I've seen it in other threads, and it's pretty much what comes to mind when I think of a real individual ride.
