I worked this out in AutoCAD once over on locost.... cos I'm dull. The difference in using 1.5mm box section versus 2mm box section is something like 13kgs. So the weight issue isn't in the box section.

I'd imagine the differences are to do with the likes of seats/interior trim, cooling system, gearbox/engine, windscreen and any weight saving by using non donor hubs, calipers, bellhousing, alloy wheels etc
