Another Libra on the road!
Discussion
very, very nice and good looking car!
Any other projects after this?
I visited your website a few years ago, while looking for a porsche speedster engine conversion. Very informative and lots of info.
(I was interested on the Alfa Romeo boxer engine at the time).
What happened to the Speedster after the Subaru engine conversion? do you still have it?
My congratulations for your car.

I sold the speedster to fund this project. I plan to keep this as my daily driver for a few years while I build a house which is my next project! It ended up in Jersey, strange choice of car for an island with a 40mph speed limit but he wanted it...
I'm going to make a bracket for the front number plate so the bottom of it sits just below the bottom level of the car (warning device!). I've got a 3/4 size plate so it doesn't block the air intake too much. Although, I do have a massive radiator so I should be fine, people get away with much worse..
Fitting up the post SVA bits now

Rich,
It looks great, but I can't believe you sold that lovely Speedster to build it - Herotic!
Are you still working on the independant wishbone front-end, or have you given up with V-dub projects?

It always bugged me that the speedster 'evolved' rather than done to the final spec from the beginning. I would have done a few things differently but as it was my daily driver for about 5 years it couldn't be off the road for too long at any time.
The Libra will be my daily for the forseeable future and I will try to leave it alone!
Going to build a house next, then I will finish off the VW wishbone design and build my next project: spaceframe beetle with VAG 1.8T engine, mid mounted, with lots of other unique features, but that will be a looong build.

Beautiful car. Would love to hear about your cars performance with this engine. I may get serious about this kit and a VTEC honda engine similar to your power level is what I may have in it.

mmmm bellus roddas!
Someone has been listening to a bit too much Moyles!

I think there should be some sort of effort to get more kit cars featured on Carpark Catchphrase. I keep meaning to phone while driving the Quantum, but it has no aerial so I'm stuck with tapes.
Say goodbye Mr Fish...
...He's waving Adam.

Something with a killer set of multiple air horns would raise a Moyles eyebrow or two....

I guess some people are in no hurry to get to work.
Adam, why not get to work early, listen to Moyles'y then when you get through run out to the car.
Don't forget to feature it in WK? - even if you lose
