The guys at Trackspeed are stripping a 99 for me. Going to acid dip Monday. Maybe somewhere in there we can get it weighed before it gets dipped.

That would be cool to see and compare to the 91 weight to see if the shell really is lighter than the early NA.

It would be interesting to see what the weight difference is before and after the dip. |

Please don't whine about unsafe door lightening. This isn't a track car. It's an autocross car. And there will be serious issues with the "cage" that slant towards stiffness and low-n-light weight at the cost of impact protection. Stock door with all unboltable parts removed first, then two of the gutted door. http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/v...a/SNC10874.jpg Attachment 191645 Attachment 191646 |
Body parts that serve no function add 137lbs to my car?! Hmm....
Even the 2 feet of garage space I'd gain front and back is tempting. |
495 pounds bare 99 shell with out doors
|
495 lbs before. 461 lbs after so 34 lbs lost in acid dip. The steel does not look severely etched plus all the plastic and rubber plugs survived. So I think that's just paint, tar and undercoat weight.

Very nice guys. Emilio can we get a build thread on that 99? People might be interested how it was built later in the year...

Not much for forum build threads so the blog will be it. |
Did the acid dipping take the bondo off, contributing slightly to the 34 pounds lost?
Good news all those plastic bits survived. Let us know when you don't have enough time to put it back together. Can't want to drive this thing and :winner:. |
