Whoa whoa. Let's not get too crazy here.
Lighter AMG rims, drilled/slotted rotors, coilovers, and W210/211 seats front and back are what I had in mind. Or I may just have my seats redone in memory foam. Carbon fiber hood/trunk lid (painted of course, no rice please!) and maybe if I get crazy(er), front fenders and door skins.
My first thought is that if I rip out all of the old 1983 insulation in the vehicle I'll drop the weight a good 30-50 pounds. Any steel I can replace with aluminum I probably will.
If I can find the
fiberglass body kit used on a AMG W123s to delete the bumpers I'll jump on that as well.
Another thought I had was, would the weight of a skid pan make up for itself in aerodynamics?
