The last one I gutted at the end of the summer last year ended up right at 2000lbs.
We removed 20+lbs from the wiring harness
Oh.. it has steel fenders and steel doors
remove the ac compressor
remove the big aluminum bumpers (do you honestly believe they are going to save you?
remove secondary air fan in engine compartment
lightweight flywheel/clutch
remove transmissions and motor for the top (the top operates easily without it)
I can go on and on.
I remove all the undercoating, but this requires complete dis assembly of the car
Power wash the car.. the bottom.. I can remove 20lbs of "crud" from most peoples car because they don't maintain them...

I told a BoxS owner last night:
"we removed every other bolt holding the front fenders on"
That is how serious we where about getting weight out of the customer car
This is the radiator mount for the drivers side.. we trimmed it down.

This is after blasting. This is the right rear inner fenderwell. We removed over 40lbs of sound deadening and undercoating.

Get rid of the windshield washer reservoir and pump (or at least empty it) The weight is in the exact WRONG place on the car (and yours is probably FULL with fluid right now)
