Anyone have a 3D scan of the chassis / body?

Hi all -- I'm looking at a new FD project and I wanted to start with some packaging studies. I'm looking for a 3D scan of the interior of the chassis (including the engine bay) as well as a scan of the exterior. The quality doesn't need to be spectacular, just good enough to play with some layouts. If anyone has done this an is willing to share the scan file I'd really appreciate it. I'm using SolidWorks in my design process.

Cheers,

Very nostalgic to see you posting

We'll see if anyone here has done that level of scanning. Otherwise, I know Rob Dahm has scanned sections of the FD. Maybe ping him and see if he's willing to share.

Thanks! Great to be back. I've got the bug again after a long time. Let's see if my follow-through matches my ambition...
