Bloody buggered after that 6 hours of cutting
![](http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d103/MRR32/20121120_184411.jpg)

Rear Doors
![](http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d103/MRR32/20121120_214923.jpg)
front doors
![](http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d103/MRR32/20121120_223417.jpg)
Final Result
As for weight saving
Front doors with no trims is 29.20KG
after gutting it out and cutting the panels off we got it down to 19.7KG
Rear doors here 20.20KG
after gutting and cutting 15KG on the dot
Tried fitting back the wiring for the last few nights
all i can say is FXXK this lol but i must press on

Have you thought about replacing the OEM motorized steering column with a unit from an IS250 or 350 without the telescoping and electric motoring extra weight in it? Should be pretty straight forward and reduces one more thing that could go wrong at the track.
