So call it, stock to stock, 420-ish lbs.

When we had the silly notion of building a Colt for Spec E36 racing --er I mean Chump-- we had a 3rd gen hatch down to 1784, fully drivable.

We had not even begun to cut excess sheet metal out, or get creative with alternate materials... I've never properly gutted a 1g before, so not sure where that would end up. I suspect gutted vs gutted there would be less difference between the two, especially when you consider the engine and gearbox swap.
