sorry to be a pain but could you post a couple pics of the rest of the car. you're saying that his is the hood but it looks like the trunk with a convertable rag top molded in. are you making a convertable? either way it looks cool. keep us updated on your progress

This person must have been drunk while writing the post, yes, the Mx-5 is the Miata. Its only available as a convertible. I would bet my life thats a pic of a trunk. but no way in hell is that the body of a MX-5(miata) too square even for the wrongest AMT proportions. I hope he shows up to clear the confusion.
maybe he posted the wrong pics.

I think I got it
hey guys, I think what he refers to as the "hood" is the covertible top boot. He is using the boot from the mx-5 to replicate the boot of the covertible 3 series. Different terminology for different places I guess, some people refer the to the convertible top as a "hood" here also. Hope that clear things up

This thread is a classic example of how isolated and ethnocentric the US is with regards to the rest of the world.
Altough english is clearly not his second language I got it first time what he was talking about. He's putting an MX5 (miata for the silly yanks) folded down convertiable top on to a modified BMW 3 series body. Quite a cool project by the sound of it.

I think the kit might be a fujimi model. I know fujimi made the 1990 m3, not sure if they made the regular e30 though. Nice job gt1800 don't forget to post more progress pictures, we all love pictures

The Brits refer to what Americans call the roof as the hood. What we call the hood, they call the bonnet, and what we call the trunk, they call the boot. You can't say that he is drunk or dumb simply because of a difference in terminology.
