If you are a student there are incubator tech centers where you can use the Auto-Cad product to make the meshed part from.
I have a lower front control arm in my trash can that I put there just yesterday, from an early 914 front end.
If you want it to model AND you are a student you can have it.....the part...not the model.
If this is a product project for your profit then you are on your own.
Thank you everyone for your valuable insight!
I am a design engineer by trade and use Solidworks as my everyday tool, I do not work in the automotive industry though and have never worked on cars besides the standard backyard mechanic work.
I do not intend to make a product out of this or make any profit, it is merely a personal project and my intention is to figure out everything in CAD before I go ahead and spend any money or make any modifications to the car that I might regret later. I also drive the car to work a few days a week whenever my wife needs our more reliable vehicle, so jacking up the car to remove the suspension for reverse engineering would be downtime that I'd like to avoid.
Again, this is all a "would be nice to have" I might eventually end up having to do that if nothing else comes up, but I'm glad I asked before actually doing all the work.
If your offer is still up, I'd be happy to take the control arm from the trash, I'm not a student anymore so I understand if you want to leave it there.
