Hey Stu, when you get in the car does it mean that it tops the ton?


I have only weighed mine as it stands part built on the first pics on my resto thread. But at 620kg there is still a bit to go back on.

Thats good weight all round for the mods you have compared to my XR3cvh which is under that weight mainly due to the lack of metal which has been removed. Also i only have a rear section of the cage for weight saving as the front can be removed.
