So it'll be light, but still not 740 kg. Did you forget to fit an engine or something?

You cant make a car 740 kg by just cutting things out tbf

Perspex windows would be a good next step

not a prob mate but I only cut the spring a bit so they still sit tight as I dont want them moving about or falling out. cut springs are safe if you know what you are doing
