Default STD Libelle Restoration Reccomendations

Hello All,

I recently bought a Standard Libelle and would like some
guidance/recommendations/ideas/etc if you guys would be so kind. Below
is basically a list of things I would like some help with and the
overall status of the glider as it sits.

1) Recommendations for epoxy, primer, and polyurethane topcoat brands. I
see a lot of recommendations for a PPG Durathane but I haven't found a
source for buying the real stuff. I plan on sanding down to the first
hint of green glass and building the glider up.
2) Any of you libelle owners have a spare canopy or a mold laying
around? Or any other libelle parts...
3) Panel wise, the glider already has a mechanical and total energy
vario. I have space for 2 more gauges, but don't plan on adding any of
the fancy stuff unless I find a spectacular deal. Might remake the panel
as it is a little scrappy as it is.
4) Any ideas?

Anything is appreciated. I am new to the airplane ownership club.

What s/n is yours? It has a bearing on a number of things as the
structure and tailplane changed gradually from s/n 111 to s/n 182.

Everything I know about my Std Libelle and Std Libelles in general is

Have fun with yours.
