Current state of Katherine:
Pulled interior and dropped off seats with AK
Currently wiring power locks, aftermarket stereo/equalizer/amp/ subs, and reconditioning all interior bits. Lastly, making a template for Esty for some new carpet.

Made some new trunk boards to support the amp and subs

Also working on making a new rear deck shelf to hold the rear speakers. The Bavaria came standard with one speaker which is located in the dash above the instrument cluster

Took a while, but I was able to pull the dash without removing the windshield. For those who don't know, there are three screws that are at the windshield lip that anchor the dash down. Supposedly, you need to pull the windshield, then lift the reveal to access them. I was able to remove them after gutting the entire dash then taking a pair of needle nose to reverse screw them out.

Interior parts laid out waiting on reconditioning

Awesome project! Definitely excited to see what comes next.

Just a suggestion but instead of cheap partical board how about about the heavier stuff that has more plastic in it to resist water. Cheap stuff loves to wick moisture.

I was planning on coating the osb after I get everything mocked up. I considered going with a higher density wood, but if it's coated and wrapped it might be a waste. Regardless, at least I have a pattern, hahah
