Are you putting on a carbon roof? What other carbon bits you throwing on there.
And whats your ultimate weight target? You may have seen my build. I am trying to keep mine a little more user friendly for the street (I.e. only a half cage, steel doors etc). But also very focused on weight reduction. If I can get mine below 1,175kgs Ill be happy. But thats a complete guess.

1175 easily within reach based on what I see

Great project and documentation, very entertaining. The intial video was good and a few of your existing mods gave off the hint that the build was going to be serious (you already had half cage, electronic power steering etc).
Look forward to the progress.

Ive taken our 249kg so far and started with a car that already had bucket seats, lithium battery, no engine tray, no spare wheel, no rear seats, lightweight duck tail. Unfortunately I didnt have a chance to weigh it before I started though (I regret that now).
As far as the current weight it only has the bare tub with cage and the roof. That should be 192+22+2= 216kg ;-)

I love your videos too! I am down to 1160KG incl. half cage and pretty heavy 8&9.5' Cup I wheels. My car still looks stock - what I always wanted... but I am aiming for a number below 1100 KG. I am looking forward to copy some of your Ideas 
) In general my final stage would be 3KG/HP as a ratio... meaning 1100KG needs to meet 36xHP... but i am a poor guy - so my Projekt is ongoing...
Cheers and keep the good work up!!! Looking forward - Tim
P.S: living near the baltic sea in Germany... Lübeck - is there a chance to see you on mainland Europe?

Loved the last video as I've just had a carbon roof installed on mine.
Answered a few queries I had
Keep up the good work

i am in the process of converting my car to C2 as i named it one or two pages before. Because of the "corona shutdown" i escalated to final modifications during the last week and removed the RS-carpet and the glue below the carpet out of the car. Found another 8kg of glue and rest of sound-canceling stuff below the carpet + the carpet itself...
When the C2 conversion is finished - gearbox is still at the gearbox builder - then, the roof would be my next topic... your video was quite cool, because i got a feeling how the edge of the roof at a- and c-pillar could be sanded down, to solve the step in different materials for the final paintshop... my concer was, to solve this with a quite thick amount of filler but that`s not a must, when i see your solution...
