Hi all Big disillusionment, I cut out the fuel tank. Then messured it. Without gas it schould be around 21 KGs. Thought it would be alot more. :'( The new 60l alloy fueltank (60l is needed for longer trips f.E. to track or mountain, when I race it I just fill it as much as needed) is 7KG also including fuelpump and foam. But of course to save as much weight as possible I cut out the whole floor behind the seats and replace it with fiberglass (not carbon fiber because this will be replaced soon with the rear engine swap) After the tank mod, the floor under the seats will be replaced with carbon fiber And when my big oven gets delivered I build a new ultralight carbon dashboard

You will see the carbon when the hood is closed Just the blub with a little chrome and the "xenon'ish" ball will look stock. (I attached a picture) I need to build the glass different than initially thought. I wanted to mould it with epoxy, but its too viscous, would need a ton of layers and will probably brake while unmoulding it. So next try is to do it with acryl glass. But this is ok, never done this before btw. the carbon part is 50g compared to stock 101g. The glass wil be interesting Btw. my 60l Alloy fueltank arrived on saturday. this will be the next step on this GTV, but at the moment I have to much projects startet^^' I have also bought a GTV from a friend which has a 3l 12v TB engine with forgend pistons and 500hp (unfortunately stock rods :S ). Not running for 3 years. This I will bring back to life and when the engine is as good as told, I will put this in my project This also has a Q2 and GTA Gearbox. But I am not shure for now, how I will do it. maybe forged Internals on the 24v would be better, but of course more expensive. I don't know yet, we will see
