Kit

HI Gents - Moog strings I found out about on this forum, they arent fitted yet but told are lower slightly and fit straight in, the ones in now are the original ones and are just tired. These will go on once the front end gets done, I bought a kit from Kantar (these kits do get resold by other guys) prob this winter along with king pins - Coils. Didnt have one cut that I'm aware of so no issues with geomatry or un even tyre wear - Sway bar, thanks Andy good to know, being in the UK not sure how I can get one but if there are resellers in the US perhaps I'll just have to look at getting one sent over Pic is from a recent meet I went to and thank you for your kind wishes, us car guys get bumps in the road from time to time :-))

Hmm good point, not thought of that... they are tired & going to be replaced so you could be right? yeah about 3 inches Id say & dampers from original top mount to under the spring plate. Truth is once I get some £$ in the bank I'll be damper hunting (had a really really nasty motorcycle accident in April, the guy who drove into us broke many many things & havn't been able to work, that's another goal to work towards...so far I've got the staying alive thing done, the learning to walk again thing OK & from loads of other goals achieved we're now 1month 2wks doing the gym thing as determined to get back to fitness, work & getting to a point of getting through the '23 season..

Fulton I think it is

Sharing a little update for you guys, so here we go. Old springs put back on with "2 blocks (think she looks alot better) bottoms out if we take the local speed humps a bit too fast & will have to deflate the tyre if I ever have to take it off. The new springs that looked f***ed we think weren't tempered even though they say they were, the supplier said they were fine a couple of times, saying they are suppose to be that way, but as you guys..we just weren't convinced (even the guys at Eaton Springs kindly looked at the pics & said the same thing we were all thinking) they refunded me $600 which was good of them, glad as things are really dear to ship here to the UK, think it was $350 alone in shipping these rear leafs.. We also relocated the rear bottom damper location by making some plates up so they actually do damping, the high location / orginal prob wastes 60%+ as they are at such an angle. HEI from Tom Langdon isn't fitted yet, no new Kingpins, not put any of the front moving parts on from Kantar or the Moog Aerostars but we did fix the passenger door so it doesn't rattle which was driving me nuts & the Drivers door handle mech was taken apart, worn parts welded, discovering that the two replacement door springs @ $40 from 'dodgeybay' fitted but all the tangs were wrong. Went out for a short drive today, cleaned the whites & jet washed the rest, man I love driving this car. Anyone any info on the Body number? And Yup that is gaffer tape holding the fender trim on, not yet fixed that yet of course, trying to get the original trim clips seems to be an expensive task & hard to find so I'll prob JB weld nuts & bolts unless anyone out there has some spares they could help with..Thanks

The spring company say that as they are “1 lower than stock which is what I asked for they do this, but Im not convinced this is right, there looks like literally no spring effect. Plus they are made in batches of 50 so should all be tempered correctly. Never see leaf springs like this before even on Land Rovers with leafs removed

Rear Leaf spring issues The new rear leaf springs we can’t figure out whats going on here, any thoughts. Dampers aren’t restricting, shackles are moving, spring arch distance is the same as old ones, supplier is certain they are tempered (American made). As you can see they are not looking very good as soon as you put weight on. (Will prob re-mount lower damper, how do others do that, just weld a pin?)

A litle update, the car spent about 1yr & 3 months getting welding done through C-19, in that time engine & tranny out which were cleaned up & painted, new full brake system, fuel tank, rewired & now 12v, I went with Tom Langdons Split exhaust manifold, custom built exhaust using Matt Bolts Mufflers here in the UK, he's well known in NHRA circles & they sound great, a Weber 32/36 carb with heat & K&N filter. Now we are doing Tom Langdons HEI & the suspension. Dropped her off tonight as I've only been able to drive following a really bad road accident on a motorcycle that wasn't my fault in April. The rear leafs are flat & fronts old, front end stock rebuild using parts from Kantar, front coils Moog Aerostar ones, reaf leafs made "1 lower than stock & we'll put some blocks on, prob "2. We'll be using the relocation brackets for the shocks/dampers mentioned elsewhere in P15-D24, putting those on to see if that helps the 'wallow'. One of the things we had to do was run the twin exhausts under the axel as there wasn't enough room & just off the bump stops, with the new suspension we'll see if we can run these over the top, not a straight job at the fuek tanks gets in the way on the drivers side. Headlights we did change, using Land Rover ones, also used alot of other Land Rover bits such as ignition parts On Instagram see Peppa_the_Plymouth there are a few more pics there, we made the American car magazine here in the UK at the Plymouth picnic & a few meetings in '21 such as Rally of the Giants where the original single exhaust fell off & we had to be pushed out of the arena, but we styled it out. Just looking forward to having this work done & being really busy in the scene here in the UK in '23. During my research Peppa is only 1 of 2 P-19 Fastbacks here so quite a rare beastie Dec 19th - Added; Just got word tonight, the rear springs aren't doing very well, bent in an S shape so we thing they may not have been tempered..but of a pain seeing as they come from the US so talking with the suppliers now to see what can be done

Hi Everyone Thought I would share 'Peppa' with you, she's our 1950 two door Sedan Fastback and has been in the shop since August 2019 to get all the rust taken out, brakes sorted etc etc so far we're looking at new window rubbers, inner cills, boot floor, fuel tank, trunk floor, inner fenders. After that we'll get a new headlining, seat covers and carpets. The body and trim dents straightened and door rust will eventually get done. Doing this on a real shoestring budget so my two children and I can cruise around, do a few shows. Luckily a few mates of mine own other US cars, Pick-Ups etc I also have a 1942 WLA in the shed. Being based in the UK it often proves difficult and very expensive for parts, so would gladly accept any parts donations and I'll always pay for postage Really looking forward to getting her on the road very soon, cheers Kit
