hi Jason i,m based in lowestoft suffolk on Wednesday i sold my beloved plymouth p200 van running a 5.9 smallblock chrysler motor with 650 cfm four barrel double pumper holley carb so kermit should be a tad more fuel efficient unfortunatley poor old kermit has gone through the wars a bit the stereo is hanging off the roof has been ripped the drivers seat has collapsed the engine is breathing a bit heavy and the rear diff has been blitzed the guy did fit another one but i think its a bit on the low ratio side so we will have to see ,but i can tell its been well built and improved on in the past and ive just looked at the restore video nigel did work hard on old kermy!didn't he and it does have mot til august next year and over the winter will be brought back to its former glory ive also found amongst the docs the original order and to my astonishment the guy who owned eagle cars seems to have been my first employer as i did an aprenticeship as a motorcycle mechanic when he had a bike buiseness small world me thinks take care and thanks for replying maybee see you out and about sometime Attachments:
