I lost track of my shenanigans for a while. I removed the air dam temporarily to work on bracketry to hold the splitter and in turn hold the air dam more securely.
I ran into some problems with the transmission fluid cooler lines rotting and had to install an auxillary cooler.
I also intercooled the turbo diesel engine and installed an egt probe/ gauge to ensure I don't melt everything together.
During this stretch of performance oriented upgrades I also went over the brakes and shocks, opting for the least expensive new replacements.
I'm not entirely sure what is next, I put the grille back in and am considering resizing the opening there and in the front bumper along with a version 2.0 of the old air dam. I'm thinking I'll close up the old holes and maybe open up the center section and duct to the cooler pack.
Went dumpster diving and scored some coroplast, began building what I interpreted as a bonneville spoiler/ trunk deck extension, this is what it turned into for now. I was going to run vertical gates from the rear window gasket back to this, but couldn't decide how much of a taper I wanted. Would it be best to compound taper these?

say the red and orange are the pieces I already mounted, and green is what I want to add, should they be "level" vertically or angled top to bottom? also, what height would be most advantageous?
