hi nick

welcome ,as far as i know the s7 rear is seperate to the main monocoque you could try gbs for a replacement ,

or try to find an unfinished s7 on the web, ebay, i sold a s7 shell earlier this year to a guy who had a front end shunt and rebuilt his on to that shell .so there are some still arround, the most expensive way would be to remove the rear and have it scratch built .

i think the rear will be the only stainless part replaceable without welding,if you source a replacement tub you could rebuild over the winter(or summer it all seems the same this year)

regards graham

Welcome Nick.

What model of S7 do you have? If its the early S7 like mine (Cortina) it may have an all in one GRP rear end, later models

had a stainless steel rear panel with seperate GRP rear wings.

At the time Robin Hood Engineering did make a replacement stainless panel that was bonded over the GRP rear panel to hide any damage and to make the wings look like they were a seperate item.

I have seen some adds in the kit car mags for companies that can repair fibreglass panels.

It will be hard to find the wrap round panels for your car, before you spend money you could take the panel off and have a go at repairing it. but first give gingerfix a call.
