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
