Hi David
I took some photos but not sure if they will help. If you want I can take some measurements.
Here's the photos....










Hope that helps if not give me a shout...

Sorry went to edit the post then lost tinternet, joys of living in the sticks. If you fill in the gaps a,b,c,d from the leading edge round the curve and join to the bottom of the rear panel that is how these things are intended to work, well in theory at least.

Hi all,
Well managed to get my rear under floor/diffuser finished. I took notice of what Phil said and with a bit of tinkering I ended up with this. All inlets are now smaller than the outlets.
I've also drilled quite a few 60mm diameter holes to help remove some of the air built up in the rear tub.





As you can see in the next photo some of the air built up in the rear tub can be released above the diffuser in the slot I've created.






I also decided to make angled cover plates for my lower wishbones while I was at it, should now clear on full droop...

Sorry more photos.
I'm now at the stage where I'm now removing stuff to fit parts for good... and boy that's a good feeling...LOL...
I removed my rear tub to tidy my electrics and just finish stuff off.





Now all suspension bolts are in place along with springs on the dampers. Also fitted the diif rubber washer thingy's.

Bye for now....

Hi everybody,
Well judging by my last post I'm classed as "MIB"......(Missing In Build).
Basically work went bonkers and left no time for car. I decided to keep away from forum for a while in case I was tempted to use the little spare time I had working on the car again.
My son had taken up football and daughter shows horse at weekends and missus wanted kitchen renewing so I decided to spend time with the family.
I should have scored enough brownie by now to soon get on with it again.

Hope to speak to you all soon with some photos... fingers doubly crossed..

I'm glad your back, I'd been missing your build porn.

Sorry to hear you are selling up. Can't you just store it until you have got time. It will be worth it in the end. Even of that's 5 years down the track.

You have put so much hard work into your build

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.

Don't do it mate .....cover it up and walk away for a bit, that happened to me a few times, it made restarting it feel a lot better even in little chunks. One thing is for sure your car would be up there at the top in terms of value so think of it as an investment.....here's hoping you reconsider.

I agree, if you don't need the money, put it in a corner and forget about it. I think you'll regret selling it one day.
