Hidden coin

Post by Rich_UK » Wed Jun 02, 2021 6:37 pm

Been lurking for a while but this is my first post. I recently got my first Bongo (bought used but it's a JAL import) it's got a few problems but I'm enjoying it so far, anyway.. I kept noticing a rattle every time I lifted the cupboard door on the centre console, it drove me crazy so I took it apart and this is what I found inside (500 yen). I can't see how it could possibly have got in there without someone purposely taking it apart to get it in, maybe as a good luck charm? Anyone else had similar?

Usually under rear carpet at the back of the engine cowl yours must be extra special 😉
