How far do you want to go? I can come up with all kinds of weight reduction suggestions. Many don't make the car very street legal. Others get expensive.

My car is stripped right down. Race ready with me in it it's 3175 pounds. That includes a 6 point roll bar. I'd like to remove another 200 pounds somehow but that would mean spending a lot of money on things like aluminum heads, fiberglass doors etc. If I could find some way to change the back glass to Lexan and still provide an easy way to get into the rear to fuel the car, check batteries etc, I'd do that and get rid of that heavy rear glass. It might be next winter's project.

My car seems heavy but it's also got a BBC, TH400 and 9" diff. None of them are light. The iron heads alone are 65 pounds each.
