Here we go for tonights update!! A picture of my rubbish welding..I cut it out twice before I got it right!!

Posted Image

Then I wheeked the glass and winder thingy out of the drivers door..

Posted Image

The next bit was a bit nerve wracking as the door was perfect..no rust!! but im desperate to save as much weight as possible on this build so the grinder went into action..

Posted Image

I left this bit..I need a solid mounting point for the door handle..

Posted Image

A couple of pictures of the lightweight windows...

Posted Image

And one of the drivers side one slotted in..It will be pop rivited in once ive got the door sorted..I would say it weighs at least 7 0r 8 kilos les now..Ill weigh both doors tomorrow to be sure..

Posted Image

And does all this cutting out of unnesessary metal make a real difference to the weight of the car??

Errr..yeah!! just a bit!!...this is Tatties swinging free on the spit. Once ive welded in the floor section and put the wing back on it wont be at such an angle...but its not far off! I tried it by placeing all the bits in the passenger side and this is still the balance point. I hope once I do the drivers side it sits level!! but Im sure I can fettle away till its right!!A lot of rust and excess metal still to remove yet!
