Budi
Nurrachmad, from Jakarta, Indonesia, sent me these photos from a
grand day out of the “PEUGEOT 504 Community”. In this community,
Budi and his fellow enthusiasts from all over Indonesia own 504s of
all types (Berline, Break and Pick-up) - but not 504 Coupé or
Cabriolet. This community also has it's own mailing lis: pug504@yahoogroups.com,
to share all 504 informations with all 504 users in Indonesia |

On
September 24th - 25th 2004, the “PEUGEOT 504 Community”
were having a nice trip together to have a one night camping in Salak
Mounting. This volcano is located about 100 km south of Jakarta, with
an altitude of about 1000m above sea level. |

Budi is pictured here with his 1980 PEUGEOT 504, in Brown Metalic, fitted
now with A/C and PAS. Budi reports that about 8000 – 9000 504s
had been produced in Indonesia from 1974 to 1982. His car is production
number “6020”

One
of the biggest 504 problems in Indonesia is the wear of the interior
due to the heat and high humidity. This is why the “PEUGEOT 504
Community” would like to start having friends across the nations
to get access or information how to get spares - either remanufactured
or 2nd hand in good condition. So if you think you can help, let
Budi know |

In
November 2004 I had the chance to meet Budi and his friends from the
“PEUGEOT 504 Community” in Jakarta. We spent one evening
together, with lots of 504s, and had a great time. It is fantastic to
meet such nice 504 enthusiasts from the "other side of the world"...

Rare
504 Pick-up, never officially imported to Indonesia. Watch this space
for a complete report of our meeting, with tons of great pictures! |

Iwan
Gunawan
owns this 1975 504 GL. When this photo was taken, it featured 14" 505
alloy wheels (as it still does), a 32-35 TMIMA carb (as used in the
505 XN1)... |
...and
a ported & polished cylinder head. But these modifications were
still not enough for Iwan, so he converted it into... |

...a
Coupé!!! Iwan cut the B-posts and moved them back approx. 15cm,
fabricated new door skins rear & front from 0.9mm galvanised steel and
made a new chassis & floor. Iwan says that the difficult points when
converting your Berline into a Coupé are: Door hinges (the door
dropped)... |

...window
winder mechanism (too weak even for standard glass, Iwan fiddled with
it for 3 desperate days until he got Civic ones) and the glass
(custom made). Note the lighter blue colour, and all the 504s in the
background (both '83 models with bulky rubber bumpers, applicable for
models '82 to late '83 according to Iwan). |
|||
Additional
modifications were done on the engine: New valvetrain, electric fan
conversion, 120A alternator (from a 406!), battery moved back, etc.
Iwan: "The engine screams, sounds great without pulley-driven fans
and ran easily up to 6000rpm..." |
I
spotted this 504 in primer when on vacation on Bali 2002. This was the
only 504 I saw during my stay, so when I found this car in the middle
of the island, I jumped out of our Suzuki Jeep and took this pic. Nobody
spoke english, but it's obvious that some restoration work is carried
out |

This
tastefully tuned 1975 PEUGEOT 504 GL is owned by Eko
Setiansyah from Jakarta, Indonesia. The engine is an XN-1 1971cc
gas with Solex carb (from a 505) instead of the original Zenith... |
Wheels
are 15"with 406 covers. Last but not least this 504 features a tachometer
from Citroen. Eko owns also a 1983 505 GR to keep this beauty company |

This
real beauty is Nelson Fabian Daquioag's
"old lion" which still still travels 85 km a day in the notorious
traffic in Jakarta, Indonesia. The "old lion" is a '75 504
GL, restored and modified by Nelson |

Nelson uses 185 75X14" tyres, who barely fit the front shock housing:
Just half of finger gap between the tyres is left... Nelson's restoration
project policy is to bring the 504 to its original condition plus ad
w/w tyres to get the 70's era look and feel - nothing fancy, just a
plain 504 from the 70's... |
|||
Nelson swapped the Zenith carbs with later Aisin Carbs. "Its keeps
the lion running like a new-born cub". Note A/C compressor |
