I just stumbled upon a book at my local library a little while ago that gives step-by-step instructions to build a Lotus Seven replica out of a junk Mazda MX-5 Miata. It's very comprehensive and says it costs about 10k less than a kit from Caterham Cars, which owns rights to the Seven. It turns a Miata into a somewhat practical head-turner good for the track and street (I think it's street legal). I couldn't find ant photos of a Seven replica made from a Mazda, but I settled for this photo of a real Seven from rrideout.com
