so if you think that a veilside fortune kit is heavy............. think again!!!!
Are you sure about that..
I could of sworn I read that kit added a good amount of lbs to the car..

I tried to search for the exact weight of the kit again but I'm finding it difficult to find the number on any site.

Have you weighed the car since the kit has been installed? I mean before taking anything else off the car..

I still think its too much money for a kit used for racing or street. I still stand w/ my opinion that it's a show car kit

Sorry if the pics are huge, I'm not to witty with the computer.



Cord is for the battery tender.


My anti-shiny engine bay. More to come later.

Thanks fellas. I never really posted many pics here, but now that I know how......

1QWIK7: With the exception of the front bumper (sold to me by str8ryd), the paint is all original. I like to think of myself as a novice/amateur detailer, which helps me keep the paint the way it is. I will admit though that there are a few rock dings here and there.

I too love the stereo and how it turned out. I just hope it did not add too much weight. Ah, who cares.

i havnt had it weighed. But i stripped the original car pannels and prefitted the kit. i know how much each pannel weighed approx compared to the new pannels. the biggest difference was the tailgate - that took two of us to remove as it was so heavy. but the new tailgate i easily fitted by myself. infact its so light i had to remove the gas struts as they were too strong for the weight. as i said the only place i gained weight was the doors due to the skins... but they are very very light. the mirrors saved weight as the vailside ones dont have any electrics in them. as for the wheels they are definately lighter!!! evern the back ones. at the end of the day i didnt build the car to be a racer - as people said its more a show / weekend car.(although its nice to have a bit of fun on the road now and again lol.)
