Might have to look at a smaller battery, located where the rear passenger seat used to be. Save a few kg and help balance up the car a bit.
I have already got rid of all the AC system.
I am now thinking of ditching the high beams, ABS complete (need a non ABS donor for all the brake pipework) and cutting out the spare wheel well and replacing with ally sheeting.
Do I really need the guard liners? Probably not. Will some dumps and down pipe weigh less than the stock cast stuff? Hopefully. I also still have a lot of the factory pollution gear, charcoal canister etc.
Might be time to break out the hole saw and mig welder to lighten and stiffen things up...
