The boxes from yesterday ....

All the parts I need to pass inspection

(Plus a used S3 muffler in the basement)

So excited to fix the car this weekend and then next week pass inspection then she will finally be on the road and sitting at my apartment and not at my hobby workshop!

A lot easier to work on a car when it’s at your house and you don’t have to take a train 45 min each way to work on it! Excited for the near future!

How much weight do you shed by changing the panels alone?

When I stripped my blue banger I didn't go as far as to strip out the lights. Looks good

would like both. winter/summer set ^^ i was about to buy a set of ch002 when my manifold cracked. so i skipped it

Funny haha I was actually thinking of doing this... as it would be super easy to sell the CH002 anytime if I don’t use them anymore. Finding these special Porsche wheels I want and making it all work is harder than originally thought.

Not sure.. I'll weigh them all when I pick them up compared to the metal panels. I can't do the windows as I have thrown the glass ones way. But I will weigh a door when it's built. Then try to find the weight of a complete normal door to see the loss
I bet its a fair bit, i wouldnt mind swapping out my bonnet for a carbon fiber one.
