When I can get it inside. Its been 30* here for the past couple weeks and I dont want to attempt to do it outside and break the plastic.

DickH · October 24th, 2009, 02:39 PM

I want to be honest... I took bits of the inside out while it was nice out and still broke plastic.

B0B · October 24th, 2009, 03:09 PM

the other night i took out my front and rear bumper supports, charcoal canister, and trunk stuff. i got over 60lbs of junk out of it and would never know looking at the car or riding in it.. i'm really considering taking my AC out but its nice to have in the summer.. even though it rarely gets hot enough to need it its still nice.

F8L GT · October 24th, 2009, 03:31 PM

started on some interior stuff today

MustangGT06 · October 24th, 2009, 03:33 PM

While you have the doors apart are you going to take out the side impact braces? JW how you get them fuckers out.

F8L GT · October 24th, 2009, 07:58 PM

yes, thats is what im going to attempt tomorrow

MikeJones · October 25th, 2009, 01:04 AM

This is the best thread ever.
i woulda never guessed how much that shit weights. are you weighing your junk so far f8l?

F8L GT · October 25th, 2009, 12:35 PM

nah im not weighing any of the stuff, its just in a big pile

BakerFX4 · October 25th, 2009, 12:43 PM

you oughta weigh it all up. Its all adding up im sure. Badass bro.

Blitz34 · October 25th, 2009, 12:58 PM

Are you planning to gut the inner door completely or are you keeping power windows? I'd be interested in the regulator and window motor for the drivers door.

F8L GT · October 25th, 2009, 01:02 PM

keeping power windows for now..... next year the might be stationary if i go with fiberglass doors

Blitz34 · October 25th, 2009, 01:09 PM

Ight. looking like a nice project though.

MustangGT06 · October 25th, 2009, 03:25 PM

Post up how you get those impact braces out so i can do it...or i'll end up getting out a small grinder and hope i dont hit the sheet metal.

Im leaving them in. The right way to do it is to drill out the spot welds, try to get the brace out without denting the outside skin, then slugging the holes shut and repainting. Dont feel like doing that.

White99stang · October 25th, 2009, 04:58 PM

think you are going a little crazy with the weight reduction lol. I thought i went crazy.

Have nothing better to do lol. And everything I take out, I'm careful that I dont ruin anything so that I can put it back on. The interior is back in, I just didnt show pics of that. Just showed what I removed from under it.
