Yay, an update. Finally!

This last weekend, I was at Wal-Mart helping my Grandma do some errands. I had just dropped her off and was parking. I backed in to a spot and no sooner had I stopped, a young man came over and asked about the political signs under the RAV. That was a very fun conversation!! But had to be cut short, because I didn't want Grandma worrying about me!
He also thought I had done some interesting projects, and said he'd check out EM. I hope he does!! I was SO glad I had the EM sticker on!

Alright, here's from the right side:



And a closer view:

I thought maybe using a small bungee cord (red cord), for the coro part that is closer to the suspension would be better then nonadjustable zippies.

Edit: This side will be picked up to the right angle when I add the side piece.



I tried to make the wheel well piece one piece like the other side, but it was bigger due to no fuel inlet stuff. And the final cut piece didn't fit behind the strut like the paper template did. Looks like it will be 3 different pieces. Not what I was expecting, but it works. And I'm not going to bother painting this side.



The back view looks more frumpy then I was thinking it would...




I think the opening there is too big, so I may close it up later.

The lighting is bad, but my camera died today.... So from now on it will have to be phone pictures. I'm not finished with the diffuser angle. I need to find a level cement place to finish the last adjustments. Getting the angle right is not easy!!

Pretty little RAV!

Which would be worse? Having the angle slightly higher towards the back, or slightly lower? I'm thinking the latter would be worse.

I'm going to close the right side in, make final diffuser alignment adjustments, then it will be time to finish the little loose ends here and there.

I'll get some better pictures later, after I've finished the alignment. My Grandma's Jeep was in the way to get a good picture angle.
