    CAD model of fiberglass body for EV conversion

    I'm doing an EV conversion of VIN 3957 (well, an EV conversion shop I'm contracting is doing the work).

    In order to make that process easier, I wonder if anyone in the community has a CAD model of the fiberglass body (even just the front boot area and the engine compartment). Planning the design of the battery boxes would be helped if we had models to work from without needing to start from nothing.

    I have seen some chassis models out there, and those are helpful, but actually the body is equally important for this project.

    Also, if you have done one of these conversions (I have found reports of around 8 or so), and are willing to share any CAD designs, I would be very appreciative.

    Thanks!

    This guy claims to have some 3D scans of the body for sale:

    PM'd him almost 2 months ago but he's not answered so far (maybe you'll have better luck).

    Thanks. Somehow, that link doesn't work for me on fb. I get "sorry, this content is not available right now".

    I'll check again later. Maybe an issue at Facebook.

    That worked. He replied, but we have yet to exchange money.

    Thank you.

    Closing the loop here: I have sent him the money via wire to a UK bank and he promptly sent the files which on quick inspection look great.

    It was a smooth transaction.
