Hi,does anyone have a link to how to remove the whole roof and tent together as I bought a new hardtop roof and tent,I have already removed the whole head interior lining and undone all the nuts,can't remember what else as I can't find a old tread..thanks

Hi,I'm putting my Mazda together again and I'm confused with direction the wiring harness goes agin and I can't find one pic on the net to go by,so I'd much appreciate if anyone could take a pic of their Mazda bongo wiring harrness where the headlights connect too area? Thanks

Have all the rust cut out and grinded any other rust I found,primed it,now have to weld in the bits I have cut out next,then stone chip and wax oil everything,hopefully that will save her for the next few years..

Thanks bob,

Far quicker in the long run to do it as you're doing it, and a lot more fun and motivating. =D> =D> =D>


Ha,putting it back together will be fun [-o< They were to many pipes and clips in the way to do it right,it’s a good job I’m doing this work myself or it would cost a fortune to pay anyone ...

Decided to strip as must as possible around the wheel arches and remove the loom and air con,radiator,just so I can get the job done right,the more you strip back on these bongos the more you find,but I’m only going to once so I’m going to do my best,

Great thread PH, going to be following your progress with interest. We usually bring our Bongo over to Electric Picnic but we're not going this year. We will be going to All Together Now, let me know if you are going and we'll hook up and talk Bongos! :D

cheers, Andy


Hi Andy,ill need a picnic ...

Just looking at the last pictures ......great to see the manual gearstick in a bongo really rare :D

Hi Brian,my bongo a 2.5 diesel 4wd with a Manual gearbox,I was told they were easier on fuel,that’s why I wanted one,I don’t know how rare they are,just thought they were not many imported ...

You've got the right attitude. The Bongo is a GREAT car and well worth restoring so you can hopefully get years of use out of it. Meanwhile the restoration will make for an interesting hobby and great learning experience. And if you're doing it yourself it neednt be ruinously expensive. =D ...

Got my new floor mats and new bumper brackets today,and my wife got me a usb double din player for my birthday today,had to fit it straight away,it will come in handy when I’m doing the work :D just waiting on a new grinder and cleaning head brush,my old one stopped working.

Welcome to the forum and good luck with the van. Have a look at this thread on bodywork, ours was rotten after a few years and we thought it would be scrap, but Bongo Spares did a pukka job on it. To do the arches properly (welded, not with filler), the inside needs to be stripped out otherwise ...

Hello purple haze , welcome to the madness :lol:
I'm from donegal myself but living now in co Clare .
Rust is the killer so best deal with it sooner rather than later .
The rear arches they use seem to be from a sprinter or Vito but bongo spares are your best bet .
Check your inner and outer ...

You'll have a great one once she's done.

Thanks bob,I'll try and take pics as I go along,the only good thing about doing this work is that I'll get to know the bongo inside and out Lol
