Default '81 body shell weight?

I have an '81 (mostly) bare body shell on a trailer and am building a dolly to set it on. It still has the hidden supports for the bumpers intact and no sunroof. Does anyone know what it might weigh?
I did a forum search, but this info is eluding me.
I want to be sure the dolly and lifting device are up to the task.

We could lift the bare bodyshell of my project '81 with a friend of mine and move it a couple of meters in the garage. We are not powerlifters at all, so I'd assume the weight is around 200kg give or take 30-40.

I scrapped out an '81 with sunroof. The completely bare chassis weighed 590 pounds. A non sun roof would weigh about 40 pounds less +/- a bit....
