if its a GT, Fog lights and brackets, otherwise, front sway bar, all sound insulation, stereo, heater core and vents, A/C, quad shocks and brackets, etc... Basically if you dont need it in a light weight race car, remove it [patriot]

just did it a month or two ago

all the interior is gone, including the dash, all pads, etc, it will have an aluminum dash panel made by me, 2 aluminum kirkey race seats, and thats it for interior,I am going to ad 2 pound though by spraying everything the same black that my engine bay is, no rattle can either

 -

between the tar paper shit on the floor, all insulation and carpet, dash, other plastic, including the stock sears i bet i pulled over 200 pounds out of the car, and none of it was over the rear tires

wipers are also gone with the motor and linkage

also devising a plan to gut the wiring including turn signals, and use arm signals if neccessary, yes i am getting that serious on weight [Big Grin]
