I've been thiking about taking the stock MK2 hatch apart and putting in a piece of plexiglass or plastic material so I can shave the weight. B/c when i was swapping my 84 for an 85 hatch/spoiler set up I could NOT believe how HEAVY they are in stock form. somewhere I'd guess around 100-120Lbs. Not much metal there either, so it has to be mainly glass weight. So I put in a plexiglass piece it would look stock, and be light as shit. for 50 lbs of weight reduction I'll do it. Any input, ideas guys?

awsome idea i have thinking of doing the some thing, i'm in the middle of puting my supra back together so might be easy job i priced the plexi glass up its pricey cause i have to use marine grade around $300 ive been quoted
less wieght = faster car!

sounds like a very good idea. hey toy8, you said you found a plexi glass for $300?? is that in US$$ or NZ$$, just wondering. if I could find a plexi glass with the right size and a affordable price, I wont mind doing it either.

that was from A local glass shop in my home town, had a good look at the glass, it has a curve in the glass don't know how plexiglass would go? i'll look at doing that later maybe
