I'm trying to look around and see if i can't find a manual tranny, because 2 out of the 4 trim levels that year came with them, so there must be some around... or maybe just have a direct drive system, though that would probably be a last resort...
also, i have no qualms about tearing almost everything thats not vital out of the car. really. the rear seats, most interior trim, stuff like that can all go really easily. so, lightening it up shouldn't be a huge task...and yeah i might just remove the window motors from the doors and make a strap system, i guess like what christ had.
