I think you hit the nail on the head with that one. That would be #1 on my list.

What sort of beans do you have on your bumper?
Green, re-fried, broad, soya, maybe a lentil even?

Well with no help from you guys I took my battery off because I don't use my radio that much. Took the guage cluster off because I can hear the exaust so I can shift. Didn't think I need the windshield because I always wanted a convertible. So with that said I can put an end to this thread and see how she runs!

Saved about 30lbs!
