Nothing formal, but comparing the weight of what came off to what is going back on it will likely be 100 to 200 pounds heavier empty. Considering my two adult children together weigh about 400 pounds, and the finished car won't have a full-size back seat for them to sit in due to the traction battery, the difference will be about a wash.

The rear seat will be perfect for use as a parade vehicle though since it will be slightly elevated.
