hi sanzomat I read your post and yes it's the same thing just in one package I have stopped working on the wiring for now I need to get the middle part of the loom from the car so I have started to work on the inside trim panels the wether is cold and wet so can't get outside for now All the vinyl is cut for the inside panels and just needs to be stuck on the panels. which I will do closer to the time when I fit them back into the car. I'm not having much fun taking the old glue off the panels I have also changed the inside color from gray to black but I don't know if this will be too dark as I'm going to be putting a black carpet in the car

Re: Paul's libra
I have taken the front suspension of the car and stripped all the parts I will send the Coilovers to gaz for servicing the springs I have given them a clean and sand. they have come up very good so I will give them a re-paint (with flexible paint). I have stripped down all the front brake Calipers I will refurbish the Brake Caliper with new seals and Pistons and paint (MUST BE RED ) the suspension is all looking good. I have all new bolts and bushes that should go back together a lot easier than it came off the car just needs some paint or powered coat

Re: Paul's libra
I have started to strip down the back suspension I have taken the gaz suspension off and sent it back with the front ones for service and fitted a bar to stop it from collapsing I need to take the top ball joint off the hub I have read that this can be very tight so got one of these (46mm Slogging Ring Spanner Box End Striking Wrench ) I will give it a go and see how it works the hub and the top ball joint are off the car and the slogging spanner worked very well

Re: Paul's libra
I had fun today with my boy trying to get the rear suspension from the car the build manual says ( The rear suspension mounts directly to the monocoque. Loosely mount all four mounting brackets using Ø6mm socket cap head screws ) it forgot to say you can't get to the nuts to undo them
