Didn't mean that, Rick.

If it is used as a van/ute, the rear will sometimes be loaded with stuff that will make it heavy again.

I see. So, in a year or so, you will not be rich, but totally MINTED!!

Plumbers can virtually print their own money these days.

You might even be able to run a T4, van, V6 and a V8!

There is seriously a lot of extra weight in the car that is easy to remove, swap out the doors for windy windows instead of electric, remove all sets and carpet, sound deadening etc. Lightweight wheels, drill panels with holes to keep the strength but loose weight.
