I have glued my front windows to closed position and took out the window lifting mechanism. It was about 1-1.5 kg.

Lower side door cover 1 kg

Door speaker 0.6 kg

Rear windscreen wiper system 1 kg

rear door panel 1 kg

Radio + cd player total weight 2.5-3 kg

I have drilled that undertray straight thrugh the underside with self tapping screws. They has already started to rust in finnish winter beceuse there is salt laid to the roads so not very wise if you plan to keep the car longer. My lupo 2L will live only 1.2 years max so it does not matter.

I have put exhaust pipe insulation to the downpipe but on the underside you dont need it at least with my lupos power and speeds driven.

New exhaust pipe is also at place.

How long did it take to remove the dash and what is the correct disassembly order?
