Body shell weight?

Postby TR7Aaron » 05 Jun 2009 23:44

Because of space, I'm thinking of stripping down my 1980 parts car to it's shell, selling off what I don't need and giving the shell and other stuff away. Since I want the rear end and the front spindles, that would mean putting the shell on blocks until it's time to get rid of it.
Does anyone know what an empty body weighs and if anyone wants a shell, let me know but I can't tell you when it will be available.

An entire car weighs 1100-1200Kg so totally stripped the shell would be arround 200Kg maybe less is my guess.
