I have stripped the interior out of a car like that to clean and replace the carpet.
When I cleaned the carpet and got in the new bits I was very glad to get it put back in.
It was very loud and noisy.
You will be surprised by how much noise the interior eliminates.
I like sound deadening material so much I try to add more.
The only problems I see are you have to have mirrors and wipers.
Drilled and slotted brake rotors eat brake pads, avoid them.
And doesn't it rain a lot and get cold in Oregon? You may want the heater at least for defogging the wind shield.
I find that weight savings give the lowest return. So its not worth buying lighter parts or ruining the ride by removing everything.
