I'm just not convinced by the weight loss.

As you can see, I pulled pretty much everything that unbolted from the rear seats backwards. The c-pillars are still there, headlining / sunroof, I didn't pull the front seats, front carpet or front panels. Not had the grinder or spot drill out. I could lift up everything that I took out in one go - if I packed it carefully. It just isn't that heavy. It might be more than 10kg, fuck knows, but it can't be any more than a bag of ballast (25kg).

I avoid bullshit weight loss stats and bullshit BHP figures. It does what it does and that's it.

I'll try to weigh it once it is done - that'll tell a story.

I'm probably going to keep the front largely intact (seats aside). I don't want to go too extreme - it needs to be comfortable enough on a run from Kent to Silverstone, Snetterton, Rockingham, wherever.
