Its not that I think I am fat! Although loosing a few pounds from your body would be probably easier than from the bug. A lot of peole seem to overlook that!

Just that I would like to get a better power to weight ratio in my bug.

Car is a late '73 1303S with genuine Cup2s with Type 1 motor.

I have now removed all the large speakers from my stereo, and saved a lot in weight.

I am also going to fit perspex rear side, and rear windows.

I have kevlar seats, but the subframes are heavy. Still lighter than standard.

May remove rear seat (which does not weight hardly anything) and put down some covered fibre board (perhaps carbon fibre?)to cover the battery area etc.

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
