Stripping interior and painting it

mmm...nice neck breakers

Just prey that you never cop a big hit from behind, or you will end up like a pez dispenser..

Changing seats with headrests to no-headrests would normally cause legality problems. BUT, as you got a RWC you are golden (I guess as long as the SEATS meet ADRs the RWC place is happy).

That would appear to be the case but i do wonder how people get RWC some times, perhaps the guy i bought it off was some how able to dodge the bullet being a eunos.
also as far as taking a hit from behind i would be more worried about being T-boned in a mx5 or a head-on than a tap from the rear. as a matter of fact it would be messy from any direction but i think being T-boned would be much more likley as i rarely drive into the city.

Either that or the inspector figured his head would just collide with the roll bar in a rear ender.

Even though the interior is so stripped out, it's good to see you can still play some music.

did you wiegh the carpets? or get a reading before and after??

what roll bar are you running?

i still have all the carpet in the shed, but i start a 3 week nightshift shut down tom night so i wont be able to tell you the exact weight. at a rough etsimate i would say 20-30kg maybe more i cant remember. i know the soft top weighs a bit though.... i have nfi about the roll bar it came with the car.
