Major weight reduction breakthrough!
Got all the Tar and under carpet foam out of the interior today No need for dry ace a few seconds with torch and it turns to goo. Easily scraped up. Also allows you to get the horizontal areas Tar locations: Trunk Behind Rear Speaker Under Rear passenger foot Under front seat feet Side or Radio console Behind the rear speakers first rear seats floor and you can see the heavy under carpet foam side of stereo console More heavy rubber backed foam Passenger side done Foam weight Tar weight Heavy chunks Back together like nothing happened Final Weight Tally Under foam = 6.25lbs Tar = 6.5lbs New Car weight 2453lbs |

Just think of all you can save if you ditch the plastic trim, carpet, speakers, radio, headliner, AC, Airbags, AC ventilation ducting, air bag computer, seat belt and airbag wiring, windows, regulators etc

@SuperTom
That rear seat is looking clean. It looks like it’s extended/flat all the way to the back of front seats? Can it hold any weight, like groceries or a gym bag? You update your DIY with what you got now? That’s one of the next things I plan on doing real soon. |

Also cut off the Japanese tie downs hooks. Not a lot of weight and a PIA to cut off but incase anyone was wondering the weight. 1.5lbs for both
Had to cut in pieces to get off easier Painted everything after cutting the welds only 1.5lbs |

Last time it was on scales was pre cage and fire suppression, and it sat at 2460 ish with an almost empty tank. It's gained the cage tubing, padding, paint, and all the lifeline Zero360 parts. But it also lost the windows, door guts, a bunch of wiring, and has a much lighter exhaust with ace headers, etc now. So to answer your question - right this minute, nope

Finally had nice weather on a day off to complete one of the doors. Took me most of the day to transfer everything over. I believe I can cut a lot of time out when I do the passenger side.
Had a few holes for clips I had to open a bit with a Dremel. But most important was the overall fitment was perfect!! Bolted up the first time no adjustments made Getting close to sunset finished in time Stock door was heavy as fk. Not 50lbs I had heard, my scale says 43lbs stripped So after I get the passenger side done this will be good for 64.5lbs weight reduction off the car. Side note one of the bottom window stoppers is a big heavy piece of steel. I could easily make it out of aluminum and chop another pound off each door. New car weight should be ~2375.25!

Finished passenger side a few pics of the inside. Also removed these black heavy chunks of steel from inside the door. I thought they may be a window stopper but after moving the windows up and down they do nothing that I can see -1 Free pound!
Everything swapped Finished! Heavy chunks of steel 1/2 lb each |
