I spent 3 hours this weekend trying to get the torsion springs for the rear trunk back onto the hinges. They are all the way in the "neutral" position since I had to release tension and replace a hinge pivot some time back. How the heck do you get them back on?
Since I am pretty much giving up anyway, what is the preferred trunk shock kit to use these days and where can I get it? |

The trunk shocks are a good way to go if you are not hung up on originality. It allows additional room in the engine compartment too. The Camp 914 kit I hear is good. I made my own using Porsche 944 rear hatch shocks. You can see pics in the attached link.
