Wonder what toyota would make of it. Don't know if they can stop someone doing a body replica, but its pretty obvious what its supposed to look like.





ETA: Not bad though - depending on costs

That's gorgeous! If I had a tired-bodied Mk1 I'd seriously consider this!

That really is very nice.

Usually with these kits, you can tell it's an MX-5 straight away as not as much thought has gone into the profile view or the interior.

Okay we can see this one is an MX-5 (which isn't necessarily something to hide anyway), but it is by far the best effort I've seen so far.

Anyone any ideas on cost - had a rummage around the website looking for a yen price anywhere. Didn't see one.
