I'm wanting to do it to try and remove the casting marks which as you say maybe form into cracks. If there is some weight saving then that will be a bonus.

I'm not knocking it, just trying to weigh up whether it's worth my time for other reasons than weight. I've sorted the crack propigator, lol basically the cores were not glued together properly leaving a nice gap you could see daylight through.

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

I enjoy doing that sort of thing and its nice to know that Ive done things to my car that is out of the ordinary. If you dont get that kind of thrill from doing it then its probably not worth it. I seriously doubt it! |

It's not finished but probably spent a good day on it so far. I would have finished it but couldn't get any more flap wheels over the weekend! |
