Yeah it would be touch and go.
I have 3 yrs contributions in uk and i have received confirmation that i qualify for class 2 contributions to bridge the gap. So i have the opportunity to obtain the full uk state pension.
You cannot backdate 32 years. I think its usually only 6 years you can backdate, but there is currently an extended backdated period allowed due to brexit back to 2006 I think it is, but that wont cover half that period, so like the prsi, you will need to continue paying yearly. Admittedly its peanuts vs the gain (assuming it doesn't get pulled)
