I hope she still had time to do you a roast dinner

[gary@apt]

was a tescos lunch for 2 mate,very romantic!

Check you out...........you don't want to slow Debbie up, so you buy dinner out? Like your style. Is all of this loom stuff to save weight, running out of things to buy or just 'upgrading'? How much weight do you reckon that you will be down to?

[gary@apt]

haha thanks mate

its part of what i always wanted to do but mainly yes to get weight down

this time we weighed lots thats came out and funny how samll things dont weigh much.
loom was about 17kg but im guessing the new one will be only 5kg.

heaterbox and fan was only 7 kg

doors even though we had removed door bars and trims still were 15kg new ones are only 5kg

the car weighed 1290kg before but i really hope to get it to 11--kg

We've been removing pretty much anything that's not needed, even down to small brackets and studs. Gary's been particularily busy with the spot-weld drill.

Double skin for the bulkhead? Don't need that...

Eek, there'll be nothing left soon, it'll be like a silhouette Evo....
