Buying a Fiero

OK guys I'm thinking about buying a Fiero for a side project. I would love to have something a little faster then the Yaris for around the town and what not. (withdraws from a Mustang GT) My plan would be to get a V6 version and just hack away at, like the removable all the exterior panels, hood, glass, interior and some of the frame work then build tubular frames around it. The fiero's weigh about 2600lbs and I was hoping to take about 800-1000lbs off which would leave me with about an 1800lb car with around 130hp and 160tq. What do guys think about this, and are my estimates of weight reduction close? And what type of performance do think this would net? Just would like some input.
