I want to make aluminium door frames for the Sprint but if I do it wont get finished for MITP, if I keep the steel frames there is a chance I could get it there in 2016.
I seriously doubt it! |

Realistically, the doors could be done later. What sort of weight saving could you expect from the change? |

Aluminium, if you dont do what you want to do you will keep looking at it wishing you had changed them. Crystal Sound Audio said:

If the opportunity to do so is there now, then I'd put the bit of extra work in, you might regret not doing it later on. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

I also think you will regret it. Missing 1 more MITP vs years of wishing you had done it, easy decision imo |

Make the bucks for the frames whilst the car is apart, then concentrate on getting it together for MITP 2016.
