    You want to be looking at poly windows, grp tailgate and bonnet. Removing all the extra metal inside the car, gutting the doors, loosing the metal bracing behind the dashboard, removing bumper bars etc

    Check my project thread. There's loads you can do to lighten a corsa, and changing the fuel tank for a plastic one is a long way down the list tbh

    Surely you are only pulling it one way though? ie. you are pulling it along its length.
