There's some fkin light corsas in here!
My xe converted, polycarb, grp tailgate and bonnet with nothing inside corsa was weighed in last week at 880kg!! I'd hold off from using any parkers quoted weights and not list your own until you've actually had a proper weigh-in done!

You're the only "light" corsa with a big block in though.

What weight are you aiming for Dave, or have you finished now?

Nothing is ever finished, LOL. Front door bars are to come out, probably go for a racing battery, and need a proper grp/kevlar passenger seat.

I was hoping for 750 but I'm not prepared to loose the dashboard/heaters so I guess that un attainable now.
