If my memory serves me correctly standard front seats are about 25kg each, fixed buckets and side mounts are 7kg and harnesses are lighter than inertia reels so potentially theres 36kg just in the front seats alone.
IIRC the weight of the stuff listed above is about 100kg. Door cards are light though and youd have to make up some covers for the inner door anyway so leave them on.
The carpets and sound deadening are supprisingly heavy. Get a heat gun and a scraper and remove the tar like deadening off the floor under the front seats and youll save a bit.
Spare wheel and rear wiper are good to remove for weight and once youve stripped it strip the wiring loom back of all the unused wires and youll have a few kgs of wire to weigh in and make some money back.
I reckon its possible if you went mad to get 200kg out of the car without cutting away metal.
I did have a list of what stuff weighed but ive lost it. Maybe weigh everything you remove and write a guide.
