All right. Some more update pics.
After a week of filling and sanding the easy sand putty (over 4kg so far) I have got the plug to the stage where I need to see it in primer to decide what to do next.
The passenger side oil cooler duct still needs some work- it needs to taper up slightly on the outside to match the drivers. The brake ducts are also in need of some further attention to get them perfectly round and nicely smooth. At some stage I need to remove the plug from the front of the car and remove the tow hook and fill that hole. (in hindsight this should have happened a two weeks ago).
I am happy with the rest of it and reckon it is good enough to go on a track car.
I spent some time today radiusing all the edges so they are a minimum of 12mm, in some cases 20mm, to give it some strength and make it easier to pull the part from the mould.
