I like the idea of flex a lite windows and carbon fiber instead of drilling holes in my car

Does anyone know the weight on the ac unit and or power steering plus lines ?

not sure on exact weight, but when i took myPAS pump an line it felt like about 10-15kgs so quite heavy really

- Fri Aug 13, 2010 11:55 pm #208874 I gutted my old 'Teg back when I had it.

Pulled the rear seats, rear seat belts, all panels except for dash, full AC, PS, radio, ABS and all sensors, cruise control and control box under the dashboard, carpet, all sound deadening, IM brace, all exhaust head sheilds, sunroof and I riveted in a sheet of .032" aluminum in it's place (real aircraft grade rivets not pop rivets) with 2part sealant to fair the edges "for aerodynamic purposes", rear seat brackets, all speakers, and occasionally the passenger seat.

All told, the thing weighed 2100lbs. I took 400lbs of everything out of there.

- Sat Aug 14, 2010 4:56 am #208895 I think it would be pretty cool if someone gutted and then shaved the whole inside of the car

ChicagoMike or anyone else who has done this before. What Paint did you use to paint the floor? I was thinking about picking up a can or 2 of spray on bed liner.

^I'd go against using any sort of spray on "liner" for say. Most of those are going to be rather heavy. Just pulled my dash out and cleaning up everything underneath and im also trying to find some sort of paint to coat the inside to make it a bit cleaner...

- Thu Dec 04, 2014 4:35 pm #350188 Yep, bedliner is thick stuff. I used Dupli-Color Textured Metallic paint:

It's thin like regular paint but has a grippy texture a little like sandpaper.

- Fri Dec 05, 2014 3:47 pm #350207 I'm jealous of how clean everything is underneath your dash! Im working on getting mine set up, stripping everything thats not necessary. Cant wait to be off work, got a weekend to put the cabin back together, transmission back on and boost it
