So it'll be light, but still not 740 kg. Did you forget to fit an engine or something?

You cant make a car 740 kg by just cutting things out tbf
Perspex windows would be a good next step

I had the car weighed when I got it and it was 842kg with half a tank and then weighed after I skined the doors , boot lid and bonnet. all the metal mounts have been cut out for the back seats. metal bumper bars have gone in the bin. if I dont need it it has gone. windows are next to go

not a prob mate but I only cut the spring a bit so they still sit tight as I dont want them moving about or falling out. cut springs are safe if you know what you are doing
