crunch time

Today was my last day off before the MPG rally in Lacey so there was a lot of work to do on the ol' car.

First there was the business of flushing-up the solar panel in the kammback. Sure there's an unquantifiably small aerodynamic gain to be had, but it was mainly an aesthetic thing. It certainly looks a lot better flush-mounted.





You can see the little 1/2" nylon spacers that I used to lower the PV panel.






I also made little wheel spoilers/diverters that go ahead of the rear wheels and integrate into the side-skirts.







There were a few other little things, like tinkering with the mini-side-mirror, and the front wheel spoilers. But, like I said, minor changes so no pics
