An aircooled Vintage Spyder weighs about 1450 dry. With some gas, oil, tools and whatnots about 1500. That's what mine weighs.

I'd guess somewhere in the neighborhood of 1650 with coolant, lines, radiator, and heavier Subaru motor and transmission.

I'm still betting that an A-arm front could be packaged up front. I'm sure it would require some new fiberglass inner panels to go along with the different frame tubes.

Bruce, I'm really not a fan of those "barbell" wide5 disc brakes from Empi that EVERYONE uses. Too heavy. What wheels and lug pattern are you going with?
