Package tray help.

Recommended Posts

I am in the process of removing all the speakers a previous owner put in my 73 2002.  Of course they hacked up the package tray and it looks like they made a cover or recovered the original cover.  This is what I pulled out of the car.

I was wondering what the package tray cover would have looked like originally on a 73 car.  I have this cover from my 74 project and will use it if it looks correct.

If not I guess I can get some light plywood, cut one out and cover it in black vinyl.  Any other suggestions?

No other suggestions that's how it's done.

Masonite/tempered hardboard might be a consideration vs. plywood.  The original material was very thin.

 

Do you have a source for masonite/hardboard?  I wanted something I could cut with an exacto knife but I cant find anything.  I can get very thin plywood from work, so that is an option.

Do yourself a favor and rent/buy/borrow a jigsaw and use masonite. Or at least waterproof plywood with epoxy resin or similar after cutting to shape. The back window is super prone deforming cardboard and wood like that with all the condensation the glass collects, and your package tray will swell oddly.

 

Another option might be 3/16" sintra or PVC, which can be cut with a sharp heavy bladed utility knife such as an Olfa. Local sign shops should have scraps of that that are too small for them to use, but perfect for this project.

Free from work is always good!  Home Depot, Lowe's, Menards, Amazon all carry tempered hardboard panels.  0.115 - 0.125 thick.

Oh wow, it looks like my local Lowes has it, and its located right next to Hobby Lobby for vinyl.  I think i will do that.

    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
