I don't know how much it weighs but 2 people of avrage size can lift the whole car about a foot of the floor by holding onto the doorbars quite easyly. Cant see it weighing much more than about 400kg. I still have a lot of wight to save yet.


blimey have you spent a fortune with our Mr austin? alloy engine? titanium bodyshell?? whats the secret to getting down to 400kg's?

although i am sure 2 people could lift mine




















with the help of 4 trolly jacks lmao

As I said, only a guess. If it does weigh 400, each person lifted 200kg, more than double their body weight.

Ill just have to get it weighed after RR, intresting to see Power/weight.

Its only a bit of metal. If it blows it blows!

By that analogy, it'll be even lighter! :)

Not many peeps at all can lift their own body weight - even fewer twice their own body weight!

me and a mate struggled to put me engine in once by hand so to have a car that light you can pick up with the engine in to, well done that's a real achievement, people next year have NO chance against you.

look forward to seeing it.

If you get chance I would weigh your car, I think you may be suprised at the actual weight of it.
I didn't think anyone on here had managed to crack 550kg? Although I will prepare to be corrected?

Sound deadning is quite heavy, filled 2 tesco bags with the stuff, takes ages to get it off. worth it though. Aso removed rear seat, bins, dash rails, roof rails, boot floor, shelf, front end to name a few. Could drill holes in the subframes, but I dont want tp weaken them.
