i'm hoping it's gonna be under 600kg, the last one i built had a zx9r engine in the front with a prop running to the rear, still had steel panels, glass and all inner skins and it weighs 660kg.

after doing all the fabrication on the van the owner picked it up and hasn't really done anything to it since, it only needs painted and assembled now. if you pm me your email address i'll send you the pics i took when building it.
