The image of the week!!
Iwan Gunawan, from Indonésia, sent me some photos (thanks!) of his superb 504 sedan. Well, in fact, sedan is no longer the appropriate term... I used to be a sedan ,but now, it's a... coupé! |

Indeed, as you can see, Iwan's 504 is no longer 4 doors, but 2 doors! This does change the look of the car, doesn't it? The front doors look quite longer to me than the normal ones. The rear doors are replaced with a fixed window. I don't think that the body has been shortened, but maybe Iwan will contradict me? The side blinkers and the alloy wheels are also specific. |

Of course, the engine has also been modified, to best fit the new shape of the car. Iwan lists the modifications made: "porting, new valvetrain, electric fan conversion, upgraded ignition and two-door conversion, etc. Induction is standard (solex 32/35 SEIEA). Second gear ran to 100kph, 3rd to 140kph and 4th is not tested yet. it's fast!" Notice also the 2 other 504s in the background... That makes a nice garden!! |
