I believe you lose about 20-25lbs per door by taking off trim, removing window etc and cutting off some if the metal work to leave you a shell.
If you want serious weight loss you can fit carbon doors as per the Cups.

In addition to what Neil says you could remove the lock too and replace it with a simple catch of some kind. There's probably another kilo or more saving in that...every little helps!
