    Good list. I've done every single one plus more. Factory sunroof was replaced with tin panel dropping another 25 lbs. Another one I highly DONT recommend but have done personally is removed front and rear metal bumpers, each weighing about 50 to 60 lbs if I remember. 83 GT weighing 2650 lbs last time I checked. Still haven't done tubular front suspension yet and zero fiberglass or lexan on the car. All steel and glass. Feels like your driving a go cart with a V8 at this weight. 👍

    • @PaulDaFox
      @PaulDaFox  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey dan, I hear ya about the bumpers; they’re big weight but I didn’t include them in this video as I’m going to do a follow-up video and recommend removing the bumpers but installing the tubular supports. I’ve ran no bumpers as well and my front nose pushed in without the tubular support. That said, you have a wicked light car. The fox in my background is a tin can as well but haven’t weighed it yet.

    A few other weight removing mods to consider -- Cutting out the Stamped metal K member and going to a Tube-welded K Member from QA1, etc will shave off 175lb. Replacing the Stamped metal control arms and using Tube-welded control arms will shave off 25 lbs or so.
    And finally swapping out the hood with a carbon fiber hood will save 25lbs or so

    How much weight would you lose if you deleted the OEM steering wheel, airbag, badging, horn, door handles, door locks, trunk locks, front lights and rear lights. Also, how much money could you have made from re-selling these parts, plus the parts you mentioned, back in 1993? TY

    • @PaulDaFox
      @PaulDaFox  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Morning MegaMacnut, you have 2 great questions! And to answer the first one, that's a tough one as I haven't weighed or permanently removed some of the items that you've listed. My best guess would be approximately 28-35lbs all together. As far as what the parts would have been worth in 1993 is another tough question as these foxes were still relatively new at that time so the need for these parts were not in strong demand as they are today. Thank you for the questions, hopefully I helped a little bit and I appreciate you watching. Have a great day!! 🦾🏁
