Decided to do a wee temporary repair to my nearside rear wheel arch today.

While prodding about with my screwdriver (nearly losing it in the process) I found this.......

So it looks like I need a set of inner arches aswell as outer ones. I am dreading the removal of the Tech 2 kit when it eventually goes to the bodyshop. Don't ya just love old cars ???

I've already bought the outer arch panels. I got them from a small company here in Kilmarnock called Ailsa Car Panels. You might be able to locate a similar company near you. If not I can find out if they deliver within the UK and get you their number, or if they don't I'll get them for you and post them myself. I paid about £20 a side inc vat.
