what engine is that?

i had mine weighed as a 1.4, with all the EGR and SAI stuff still on it, 2 seats, and a stereo, and it was 900kg dead.

and a whole dash, and a full tank.

i managed to get another 40kg out of it before taking the dash out.

looks from the pics you still have the rear seat mountings, get rid of those. then theres things such as the door bars, crash bars, uneeded wiring.

You could also cut away the inside of the boot pannel and random bits from the doors

I would also get it weighed elsewhere.
But no matter how little it weighs in my eyes it will always look bloody gash with that rear bumper like that!
