Default My first S2

Hi guys... im rob and since 1 was about 11yrs old I have dreamed of owning a S2 RST. I finally got one in january only to have it stolen in feb! Fortunately it was recovered a few days later and its now safely stashed in a garage in the countryside. It was a bit of a project when i got it (mostly body work) but its MOT'd till jan next year. Anyway when it was stolen the tea leaf forced the fuel cap off, i think the metal the filler neck attaches to was a bit rotten but now the filer neck is loose inside the fuel cap hole in the rear quarter panel. I was under the impression that i needed a new inner arch panel however it arrived today and i think im missing something? What do I need? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance... i'll be asking a lot more questions as the project continues. The car's reg is A20 GHS i think it started life in essex?

sorry for the long stroy, thanks for reading. rob.

I think you need a new rear wing to get that part, unless they do repair sections (never seen one?)

total scum glad you got it back!

Any pics?

I'm down the road in Glasgow with an S1, got some S2 bits if you need anything.
