Quick update: I have a couple of items going on, the goal over this winter is to remove some more weight and build the new short block. I looked over the car for opportunities and I'm going to fab up a tubular K-member and lower control arms. Basically a copy of what is on DSM tuners.
I purchased a bead roller and sheet metal box brake and was looking for a project to use them. I looked in the rear of the car and thought I could save a good amount of weight.
Well it turned out to be a touch over 45 lbs when it was all weighed out.
Starting:
I attached a cross bar between my strut towers, you can see where the old down bars interfaced the floor previously.
All the material removed:
64lbs of stuff removed:
And the finished structure:
