I'd like to move the handbrake lever into a less obtrusive position. Theoretically it would be quite easy to do and get it certified safe. Has anyone done it? I've just had an idea :)

Huzzah!! I only think Ive done it, but how?? I dont know. Alot of copying and pasting, clicking and re clicking.

I see a distinctive difference between boys and girls bongos! How do they look when couples nest build bongos??

Fair play to jannervanner.. thats pretty smart and beautifully upholstered, I would like to see the utube video of how its done.

Hi Delilah

Your van looks fab.

The inside of ours looks like we've done nothing but let the kids loose with muddy wellies, crackers and lego but I know my husband has carefully positioned every crumb and mud splatter :lol: :lol: :lol:

I really like your hangy up thing, did you make it yourself?

Why, oh why did I chose such a naff forum name????

Fanx..
Yes i did make the hangy up thing. I looked on web but could find nothing to fit perfectly, also made something similar for the backs of the seats, as you cant get them to fit either. I bought some extra cordoury with the intention of putting a skirt on the front of the bed with more storage pockets, but Ive not got round to that. Now Ive worked out how to post the pics or at least the link. Ill take more photos.

Hi there, we bought a ford Freda/mazda bongo a month ago (she's called Beryl) and went on our first trip this weekend - it was great fun. Lots of bunting and fairy lights around the van and awning. Have you checked out hippy motors website, I'm looking to decorate the outside as well as the inside. Julie

Aw great thread, and I don't even collect my first Bongo for a couple of weeks :lol:

Bit minimalist when I saw it so will need a bit of cosying up but will prob look better at night with the lights on.
And I'm a bloke so all style suggestions welcome ;-)

Has anyone made a real effort with the interior? not just the conversion, but accessories, cushions, blankets etc?

i am just sourcing stuff for mine. just ordered some customised bunting. just looking for a good quilt cover and possibly a table cloth

if anyone has any good photos, would love to see them.. if you google vintage campervan interiors they are all vw's.

Need to create some cool bongo style

vicki :?:
Not done much to the interior,but managed to source a cracking Royal Traveller 3 Awning for the outside :wink:
