Did you compare the weight to the framework that went back in though? The OE front chassis leg extensions are prety lightweight after they pass the crossmember as they are designed as a crumple zone.

Maybe I did, maybe I didnt 
The front cross member and towing eyes arent light.
Tube put back in is chromoly.
It was possible to lift the front of the car after but dont believe it was before but then the bar front is also easier to grip so not really a fair example.

You been buying some chassis set up books lol! It only took Porsche about 30 years to get it semi sorted!
I cut the front out my last car as you know and weighed it against the supports I put back in. With this car didn't bother with such a drastic chop, read into that what you will!

Anything structural at the front has been replaced with as strong.
No less legal than most racecar or rally cars running in road legal classes etc.
It will be used on the road.

Nothing I am aware of in mot that says so. 30cm away from structural points are intact or enforced by the work carried out.

Right Christmas and too much drinking and eatting out the way!
Happy new year and all that rubbish
On with the damn car! been a long two weeks waiting to get back at it.
Passenger side headers
Wrapped along with passenger side downpipe
Turbo compressor cover rotated and it all bolted in, feels good to be bolting it together
Reversed manifold is also back!

Well massive thanks to Cj for keeping me company and working on the car today.
We got shed loads done but not many pictures taken.
Other manifold wrapped and fitted, fuel reg fitted, fuel lines made, oil return for turbo made, rad fans fitted, water lines done, turbo bracket done, exhaust planned, intercooler pipes planned, clutch line done and bleed - I got to sit in the car pumping the clutch lol, throttle cable linkage done.

Various other things done today, massive thanks to CJ for helping out again.
lots of little bits done, the bits that take all the time, but main things being pump and filter at rear of car lowered to level of tank outlet to ensure the pump cannot cavitate, catch tank fitted, vf22 fitted to drivers side just to mock up and check a few bits..
waiting on a massive order of stuff I just placed now.
