danposs86 Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 TBH at this stage I have done it mainly for aesthetics. When I get around to some bucket seats that will help save a little more weight, I may not have saved much but every little helps. Plus I am building this car so that I can enjoy it on the track, so why not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danposs86 Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 A half roll cage complete with far more substantial strut brace Aye when I get a cage sometime in the far future, I want something far more stable than your show cage Think along the line of Sparco/OMP/Safety Devices. Copycat Dan, you saw mine and had to copy didnt you Pah, told you ages ago I was going to strip it, and you arent the first to do it. Got that cheque yesterday btw.

Tez162003 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 come on now you can strip it out better than that! door cards off, carpet all out no centre console, id say no dash, just tidy up the wiring behind it and mount the dials with couple of brackets, head lining out, then you can say you stripped it out! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danposs86 Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 I know, I was tempted, but I still want a few comforts like door card pockets and the glove box I will remove the rear 'door' cards (or whatever they are called) when I have some spare money for another harness and can remove the standard passenger seat belt.
