operation light weight, remove all sound deadening, remove any unwanted brackets and cut out some metal

still more to come out yet, but 11 kilos so far

Ye i know thats what i said to him but he said he could get 1 to the top then when i went back he said he'd had a look at it and thought he could get 2 through. I thought he was being a bit optemistic tbh but didnt question him as i aint no expert.

Pls it must be possible case the custom cages ones have 2 points to the front struts

Glad to see the car has finally got a cage! Will lose a lot of its sleeper appeal but at least it will keep the folk at York a bit happier when you're banging out 10's all day again lol!
