Just wondering what you weight savers did. I am considering removing the rear carpet, storage bins, and center console all the way up to the ash tray. Do you guys paint the rear a different color or just leave it? I know that Alf has done this...ANyone else?

 

I guess I am the only one die hard enough to get rid of those nasty creature comforts

 

I have removed all of the carpet ,tar mess ,etc
from my 7.
I painted the interior sheet metal black.

 

My bins / sound deading is going. but I will keep the carpet in the front

 

my sun roof motor and tracks are gone also

I am gonna keep all of the carpet from the seats forward, but the rear is kinda pointless. Did you have someone paint it for you jarrod, or did you and Mr. Krylon do the job?

 

how do you get the crap that looks like painted insulation off of the metal on the inside???

 

I have heard w/ a heat gun, a putty knife, lots of elbow grease and cussing, and about a weekend.

 

Hey Rico, Take out all that ****. I removed the trunk carpet and sound layer, all of the plastic in the trunk except the weatherstripping. I took the bottom of the back seat out, the top is wher my amp and power cap are, the plastic in the back seat is gonzo, the whole carpet is out, but you will probably have to cut it behind the center console. If you want you can take out the headliner, i haven't done the headliner yet but everything else is out, I think the carpet weighs atleast 30 lbs. I am currently making plans and templates to make sheet metal door panels. That's all of the interior removal i canthink of, oh yeah, if you have the rear wiper, take it off, use the grommets and other pieces over and just a normal nut and bolt fills it in, no leaks. if you know of any other interior goodies to dump ,lemme know

 

When you make those sheet metal doors panels, LET ME KNOW. I will for sure buy a set from ya. My g/f has no clue why I removed my a/c and p/s off of my old n/a. Wait till she sees what I do to the up and coming TII Only wussies need full interiors and stereos

 

for me to compete in the street class I have to keep the carpet has to look like a street car

 

I just want it lighter for the street

 

'Alucard The No Life King'... Hey Rico, have you always wanted to be Dracula?

 

Nope, just a Hellsing fan

 

Kids... sheesh. I had to do a search for Hellsing... never heard of it. I'm getting too old.

 

Anime/manga from japan. About a secret government orginization in England charged with the elimintaion of all "freaks" and "non-humns." (Vampires, gouls, etc) Alucard is the "pet vampire" of the head of the Hellsing Institution, and he is the most powerful of all of the night walkers. I love it!!

 

Its easier to remove with DRY ICE. get 20lbs of pellets and let it sit on the tar for an hour. Hit it with a dead blow hammer and it breaks up!!!!!1

 

Wow. That is a REALLY great idea banzai!!! Does it really work that well? Man, I am gonna try that. Thanks bro!!!

 

This is the rear hatch shot you asked for..

 

rico: with you driving it the benefits from removing all the carpet aren't going to matter anyway However, if you still go through with it all I think you should remove it all. Leaving just the front part and removing the rear sounds a little ugly to me, imho But then again, this is your car we are talking about, and with you in it, well that just says it all

 

Nice zaxfire!!! Exactly what I was talking about!!!

Sonic....eat me Is that beast of your running right yet?

 

The parts are on order, should be here Monday, should be purring by Friday

 

um..nope did it with spray gun and black enamel
paint....

 

I don't have acces to a spray gun, so looks like a shop will have to do it for me...

 

Before I cleaned it up alittle more. Still can see some wires and speaker grills in this pic.
