drunken....
ok as I know you guys are tighttttttttt, here are somethings that I would do to a road car when faced with a no rule book to follow!
1) do NOT seam weld... spot weld, you can hire one for a day or so and add a good 1500 of the suckers and zero weight gain....
2) once everything is spotted i.e there should be a spot weld every cm or so... seriously! then cut off with a power saw the remaining metal behind the spot... its not needed... you have a nice stiff cage now, so there is a lot of metal in and around seat brakets mounting points etc that can go...
3) not recommended for racing series... but you can also holesaw just about anything that isnt structual... and the savings are HUGE! no rules again...
4) a pedal box is a must!!!! and can be bought cheaply, or made even cheaper!! if you keep the booster its just a large metal can that doesnt help apart from going and getting the bread and milk! not really on the cards???
if you don't have twin masters, you can never "tune" the brakes to the right level... also again its lighter and safer...

then its just a matter of down to earls and get the fittings and away you go...
if thats still too much $$$$ (pics only examples as there are plenty in oz also..)
5) glass in the front will be the go, as you will need a support beam in the middle to stop the screen flexing in, also they last about 6 mths before you cant see a thing... oh and mr sheen to clean it with no windex unless u like the cloudy look...
if I have covered anything that is suck eggs easy... sorry !!!
