...the engine,box,diff,front seats,doorcards,rear shelf,wheels and other smallish parts removed ?
When I spoke to the man at the scrappy today,I said imo it will still weigh over a ton. He said "no chance".
Will find out tomorrow (assuming the weighbridge isnt rigged) who is right.My thinking is that if it weighs 1600+ kgs when roadworthy, the parts Ive removed shouldnt weigh more than 500kg in total.
Opinions please,just for a laugh.I will report my findings tomorrow.

I know I had a shock when I weighed my old Elite estate on a weighbridge,car empty with half a tank of fuel it was 1935 kg,no wonder it liked a good drink

  Final weight depends on how much water you can persuade to stay within the seat foam and petrol tank!

[albitz]

Petrol tank has a hole in it where the petrol was drained out. ...............seat foam might be an idea.

You can get a fair bit of water in them there tyres

When I weighed the CDX in all i'd removed were the seats, cats, rear calipers, bonnet, front bumper, air con condenser, rad, head lights and a couple of small bits and bobs but I put loads of old wish bones and disc's in there and it weighed 1320kg

[albitz]

Weighed the car in and it weighed 980 kgs.So I was a little optimistic,but not that far out.

Just goes to show Albs, you wouldn't want a miggy sitting on your chest no matter how much you love it!

True Phil.Im very careful these days about axle stands etc when working underneathe them.The idea of one falling off the stands or similar doesnt bear thinking about.
