<< Result:

The weight of the frame of my D (with Epoxy-Coating) is 96kg (+-2kg).

The conversion factor between kg and lb is approx. 2.2 
(see http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/Metrics/factors.htm)
The weight in lbs is therefore 211 lb.

Martys figure of 197 lb is perhaps the frame without Epoxy Coating?

Ralf,

Very interesting. I did basically the same as you, I've got a complete 
bare frame which has just finished completely being redone. This frame was 
chemically dipped and stripped of all the original epoxy and has now been 
powder coated. I guess that means the original frames have about 14 lbs of 
epoxy coating on them ??? 
We've got another frame which currently is sitting in a chemical dip tank 
having it's epoxy removed. I'll try and get a weight on this frame when it 
comes out of the tank. It should make for an interesting comparison. 
I guess we learn something new about these cars every day.

Marty
