Hi Team,

 

This is a shot in the dark question. I need to cut out new floor boards for my car. Mine are broken in some places etc. I do a fair bit of work on programs like Autocad, Revit, sketchup etc in my line of work. I could go buy a sheet of timber and trace the old board on the new etc and cut out with a jigsaw. All do able I know....but ..... Has anyone mapped the dimensions of the floor boards in to say a DWG or DXF file using Autocad etc? If you do then would you be willing to share this file? I wouldn't mind taking that file to a machine shop to CNC the boards out for me. It would be so much quicker I feel. 

 

I am not hopeful to get anything cause I am assuming no one has gone down this route. In that case I will map it out electronically myself. Just thought of asking as it will save me some time. 

 

Regards

 

Raj

Careful now; they're not all the same.

I think Andy is referring to the US cars that were equipped with illuminated rear side markers.  when that feature was added in 1970 or 71, Masonite panels were added to the trunk sides to protect the wiring from errant trunk objects.  And in 1974, US cars gained the "diving board" bumpers, which required trunk reinforcements, again changing the trunk floorboard dimensions.  

 

Since Raj is in Australia, unless he has a US spec car, his trunk floorboards are most likely the same as US cars prior to the illuminated side markers-i.e. a '68 or '69.

turbos, roundies and square tail trunk boards are different patterns, not interchangeable...roundie boards are wider and have a deeper cut out for the filler neck...they are not interchangeable...the side panels only fit roundies

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
