They're not that crucial. Theres only been like 4 or 5 people that have ever wheeled their R50's hard enought to even worry about twisting (Dean, Tyler, System F, maybe Alex & definetaley Max Stryker's crazyass). As long as you would have the rear hatch & rear doors on you could go without the 2 front doors... trust me. There are plenty of unibodies that run without front doors.

You would have to add more weight in structural bracing than you remove in making it a convertible, just to keep it from folding in on its self.

 

That was a joke... :unsure:

Don't forget the ricer dude, Vengeful. He was a man at one time and wheeled the piss out of his R50. :tongue:
Pezzy's had hers twisted up enough that the rear hatch wouldn't close.

 

My point being that he could get away with not having front doors cause he's probably not gonna run it that hard

...which all amount to about 100 lbs tops and doesn't do anything after you've added a toolbox or eaten a large meal... ;)

 

I bet the carpet alone is nearly 100 lbs.. It was heavy as @!*% when i took it out of my 87
