Rolling with Pebbles

[Preen59]

Hey this looks like my daily! Its done 550 000km or so, and is called Gonzo [the colour is Mexico beige]. I drive it 100km/day on rough roads with standard springs, but I made the top rear spring cups deeper and installed rubber washers in them to pack up the rear suspension. I fitted a turbo to the original 1500 diesel about two years ago and it goes very well with the five speed gearbox. Needs new rings though.
Good luck with Pebbles


Who says you cant fit a turbo to a 1500!

You'd have to be Aydan's dad?

Yep. He's a bit of a fanatic. Don't know where he got that from.
I only run about up to 8 pounds boost. Pebbles looks a bit neater than gonzo. We have a lot of wallabies on the road. I try hard to miss them and drive slow where they hang about, but sometimes you cant avoid it.

You've done well raising your son, and turbing the 1.5D. Apparently they are divine to drive once turboed, more free revving than the 1.6 motor.

Pebs is having a break. I built up another car as my daily but had a good offer for it and sold it. Pebs will one day get a basic resto/freshen up but my energy is going into my white coupe
