Our project has now been officially launched

The project started by finding out how to weight the car without spending thousands of euros for scales made just for that purpose. It was found that eight analogic bathroom scales served the purpose nicely. Two scales per tire with an iron u-bar across them, nicely. Scale's range was 130kg and they were adjusted to -20 so per tire two scales equals: 300kg. Nice. Initial weigths were taken in technical inspection station and the weights taken at site didn't differ more than few percent.
When car was set on scales and first readings carefully documented it was time to start taking parts out of the car. Nice! First battery, starter motor, charger, carburator, exhaust pipe, fuel tank and radiator, then readings. Then engine was taken out and readings again.
