Forester Interior Storage

[Slippery Chuck]

For a while I had the rear seats removed to gain more storage space but this took away a flat surface if I wanted to sleep in my car. First I 3D scanned the Forester then modeled a platform with hatches to access my gear underneath. The frame is made out of 2x2's and the top is 1/2" plywood. Wrapped it all with a thin carpet.

Care to share the dimensions and year model of your forester?

That’s cool! How did you scan, then model it?

Nice work! That looks great. I’ll be doing something similar, but for a 2014 Titan.

Overall dimensions are 4'-4" x 5'-10". My Forester is a 2018

I work for a company that laser scans buildings so I borrowed the scanned for the weekend. Then I modeled everything in Revit with the architecture tools.

Wow! Very cool!

I guessed as much on revit. That’s neat about the scanning tool. When I built my teardrop a while back I was able to print full scale templates using autocad and custom plot sizes in my plotter at the office.
