Has anyone got a GU wagon near Kelvin Grove, Brisbane?

[FNQGU]

Guys,

I'm looking to do a 3D scan of the cargo bay of a GU to help some CAD work I'm doing to develop an idea regarding the building of a better box and a better storage frame for those boxes.

Am now chasing access to a vehicle (since I'm in Cairns and my CAD expert is in Brisbane) to do a 3D scan on.

Need something that isn't currently fitted out with drawers if at all possible.

Can arrange time to suit, and I'm told it should take about 30 mins. Can probably even get the scan guys to come to you.

PM me if this might be at all possible.

Cheers
Ben

I'm about 45 mins up the road from there and am home most days if that suits. I have a 2001 Ti with no drawers and rear seats removed..

Thanks John,

I'll let them know and get back to you. Will send you a PM. Appreciate it.

Not sure if this is any help Ben? Your 3D scan probably easier to interpret but we used to rely on these in the good old days!

When I built my drawers 7 years ago (which I must say I'm still very happy with) I did all the measuring with tape, then drew it all up on Sketchup. Broke it into a fully-dimensioned cutting list then had a cabinet maker cut everything on his CNC router. I watched as this machine cut all the pieces so fast, including bolt holes of various sizes all over the place for anchors and bearings, then took home the flat pack and assembled and carpeted my own design at home. Happy days!

I suppose 3D scanning is now the way to go!

I would have been all over this for you mate, but my drawers are all back in. Tank back in. All reconnected and a Pia to remove...

Thanks guys,

The main reason for the scan is so I can try and settle on a dimension that will potentially fit multiple similar sized vehicles. I'm also trying hard to make the final product look as OEM as possible, possibly with a combination of anodizing and a plastic textured finish to match.
