Not huge progress so far as any upgrades, though I did score a nice weighted shift knob used on Pelican and found out I have an FVD shifter. Also replaced a dying window regulator, broken tension cable, and replaced the missing gas door spring. I removed the GPS unit, door speakers, and dash speakers, total removed is 17.2 lbs from those three. I should be at 3026 lbs per my calculations after putting a few things back in, so almost 100 lbs lost from zero dollars spent. I have a GT3 console on the way so I'll figure out the net loss from that, I suspect about 2 lbs. The clean look and extra legroom will be totally worth it though. I posted a WTB ad on the classifieds for a set of excellent condition base model door panels with pockets (no speakers), so please let me know if you have a set for sale. I also have a set of Fabspeed headers and Topspeed cat bypass pipes on the way, so that should yield some nice weight loss and associated noise.

At this point I'm almost done with the cheap weight reduction, so now I'll have to start spending money.
