Umm.. what?
Did you have a price in mind maybe would've been worded better...

OK, fair enough. Anyway let's not get bogged down in semantics - I was obviously jesting about the vulture thing anyway!

Got round to weighing this at Mallory Park this weekend.
1069kg (giggidy).
That's with a half cage in, and a lot of other stuff stripped out, on Team Dynamics 1.2's.
Still plenty of weight to come out (i.e. the dash, the sound deadening on the floor, wiring etc etc)

Just a quick update really, the car hasn't turned a wheel since Mallory Park a few months back, and it's currently sat outside with no cams, no radiator and looking a bit sorry for itself under a cover. Simple reason is, money and time has been invested in some pretty big life news... I've asked the missus to marry me... that's the project over for good then!
It'll be back together before Pugfest and hopefully ripping it up the hill!
