How to lose 300kg in weight??

Don’t know what direction to go in with my Marea, its not a family car anymore and I can do what I like with it. While I like electric windows and stuff I think its just more to weigh the car down, go wrong etc..

Thinking about stripping it all out, but im just not sure. If I were to strip it how could I shred 300kg?

Back seats, spare wheel, rear wiper motor and blade (if it has one,) Carpets? If you did track car it, then think about loosing the luxuries like electirc windows etc.

I'm not sure about the Marea, but with any other cars, 300kg would be hard. The change from the Punto to Grande Punto added something like 500kg's.

Perspex windows to replace glass - that should save quite a few kilos.

300kgs isnt a realistic goal. 50-75kgs could be done if you strip all the interior and unneccesary electrics out.
