The problem is with all weight reductions on a race car is that the cost involved isn't linear and the price starts to rocket the further you go.
The car was modified in 1993 for a series with no minimum weight restriction and weighed 675 kilos in race trim. 
It also helps that I'm not a tellytubby ! |
Would you believe a weight reduction of 23kgs just by removing all of those pads Gordon,at least,thats what I've had out of my 'project'. Just started on the excess tinwork.
