They do go a bit floppy in that state, I removed a bit more after that, then screwed in the carbon door skins, now they are pretty rigid again.

Infact I spot more that can go. I left the strip behind the handle slider, to prevent it bending, but a small strip in the middle should be sufficient. there should be at least 150g a side there still to come.

here are mine - im sure you can take more out though

Well i was going to do a big chunk out but leave enough for fg or cf door cards to be fitted on. I was going to have a cutting sesh tomorrow if i can find my angle grinder. How much weight do you think you removed??

Has anyone else got some pics as well

LOL AT G13B

he wins

yeah doors do go floppy when you remove the winder mech and panel but who cares once the doors closed there fine, if your using a angle grinder be careful not to cut to far into the door lip at the bottom

if you go mk1 slider style, butt weld the flange you have to fold (to mount the channel) to the outer skin, builds back alot of rigidy to the doors upperpart

I cut the ones on my hill climb mini out the same apart from on the drivers door I moved the door latch lever, will try and get a pic tomorrow.

If in doubt... flat out! The words of a true legend

mines a bit like G13B except im using perspex windows in mine plus i dont have a fancy handle like that, i just have a cable running up front. Its all pretty tatty in there currently :(

i've been wanting to do this but i haven't been able to man up to cut tthe winder mech stuff out yet.

this my plan of cut, im not removing masive amounts to start off with, its easyenough to remove more :)
