I am pretty sure this has been covered before, but here are our findings on weight whilst we were stripping the car.
Item Weight (Kg's)
Drivers Seat: 19.3
Passenger Seat: 16.8
Front Carpet: 6.6
Lower Rear Seats: 7.5
Upper Rear Seats: 10.1
Front Door Cards: 5.8
Rear door cards: 5.7
Roof Lining: 1.5
Rear Carpet: 7.0
Boot Carpet/
Sound Proofing: 5.2
Parcel Shelf: 4.4
Wheel Trim X4: 1.9
Plastic Trim: 6.9
There were some other parts that were weighed, according to my notes, which i can't quite figure out
. However, the end result was a saving of 111.2 kg's from stripping the interior. We haven't included the dash in this, I'm assuming that had a fair bit of weight in it, seeming as it took two of us to handle. That has been stripped of all its wires and won't be going back in, so if anyone has an idea of how much it weighs, that would be great!
So, based on the fact that the 3 door model weighs in at 1135 kg's, that will bring us down to 1023.8 kg's. There is are still areas where we believe we can save some more weight, so once those have been figured out , we'll update you.
