i cant decided weather to strip the rear of my 206 out :/
if i do strip it out i will be wanting to make the back level like the 206 van so it means takeing weight out to add it again
reasons for this
save weight
more room if i need to drop something of for work
no1s ever in the back
so is this pointless ?
i can not decide
is there any gains ?

Pointless, you probably wont notice any performance difference and it will be alot louder.

Do it then either get a roll cage or a massive sound system in there don't use the space for moving works things, thats what vans are for.
It looks like you need a new bonnet with the recess filled.

you can just take out the bottom of the rear seats and fold down the backs of them down to make it flat.
it will be noisier and you'll only save peanuts in weight...

the noise will be a pain in the a**e, i'd say your reasons for doing it make it pointless, a cage would look smart though . . .

I did it to mine once and it was just annoying and stupid, it was loud, crashy, and made little to no difference at all.
Unless you're going to turn it into a full on track car and go the ENTIRE way, as in strip every single nut and bolt out that you don't need, the whole dash etc. don't bother because you'll most likely end up getting annoyed at it.
