Project: My new trackday toy (56k beware!)

[Morten]

Well, then the rear suspension has come off, as well as most of the rest of the car and has been converted to a temporary mess

Trailed off a bit today and started on some more exiting stuff though

First, one of the doors was taken off and put on my fancy bathroom scales for a quick weight check. First as complete unit with everything mounted:

Then the door was stripped down to the bare door and weighted again for reference:

Then the new door was put to the test:

And finally, a quick check on the car to see how it fits:

I must say that these might even be better then I hoped for. If my precious scales is somhow correct this means that even if I mount everything on the new door as it was before, including glass window and everything it will still shave around 20-22kg from the car!
