Mk2's are about 75-100kg heavier than Mk1's.. Thats the complete car not just the shell though..
The upright shock's came in mid to late '73 i think until the start of Mk2. although I can't remember the exact month. |

 Also they vary quite a bit depending on engine/2dr/4dr/van etc. Lightest is a Mk 1 1100 van - under 800kg to Heaviest - Mk 2 RS2000 about 980kg |

Yep thats true too.
Now that i've found my listings.. (all these are official Ford figures) MkI 2Dr Deluxe = 798kg MkI 4dr & T/C = 825kg MkI RS2000 = 891kg MkII 2Dr 1600 = 925Kg MkII 2Dr 2000 = 955kg MkII 4Dr 1600 = 948kg MKII 4Dr 2000 = 978kg MkII Ghia 1600 = 973kg MkII Ghia 2000 = 1003kg Actually a bit more than I thought it was! Can imagine the MkII RS2000's to add 30+ kg too because of the heavy seats and nose section |

I can catogorically state that the RS headlight mounting brackets, surrounds etc weighs over 7kg.....I've just sent a set to Perth and cost a fortune. I've heard the body-deadener/sound proofing can weigh upto 10kg alone.
