if i was to strip it, it wouldn't be the whole lot just the rear. Thinking about it though it would look gash stripped with sport seats and stripped rear.

its your car, you have to live with it. You'll know better than us what you like/can put up with!

My opinion.... if its just being done because its 'cool' just now to strip, dont do it. If you really want the weight/performance advantage, do it

You will defianately regret it then!!! My brother stripped his escort, completely, everything, for weight advantage but later wished he hadn't as it was his daily driver, for a weekend car it's fine, not everyday.

think i will have to ponder some more. stripped out cars are cold and you here every noise and tap. on the other hand they are lighter.

I went out in it last night sat in and looked in the back, it looked so tidy and finished propely like a car should if that makes sense. Also ran the idea past the mrs and a few of my mates and we all came to the same decision

Its staying as it is!
