Wow... I guess the Cayenne will get used more now... no more driving to the track and back.

Amazing work. Can't wait to see it in person.

cage complete getting ready to paint today...















weighed the door while it was off (less several pounds cause no interior door skin)
and it weighed 58 pounds per door, FYI





will be replacing these with Cup car doors which are about 10 pounds.

Nice 1 Tom... looking good... going to be some beast when complete... where are the pics of the Carbon Roof, love to see this.

Here is a pic of the doors I managed to pic up for peanuts from a Team in Germany.... Cargraphic ones (5kg) which can retain everything... the only thing I am keeping is the windows (trying a Lexan in them)

Hey Tom-
I was playing around with a GT1 the other day and the first thing that blew me away was when I opened the darn door....... 3-4 OUNCES!

Great work. I can't wait to see just how much time you are going to shave off!!!

Wow, those are NICE Stevo! Are they on the car yet? Judging by what Tom says those doors would be around 45-50 lbs loss even with all the stuff in the doors?

If so, that is insane!


edit: I noticed Toms door still had windows etc. How much does the gutted stock door weigh?
