Thats pretty rare for the ford version coolhand,you did pretty well there.

The spec of bongo's /fredas is quite perplexing, there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the very varied specifications.

I don't know, but the double amputation necessary to use them must hurt a bit.

Probably only an option on autos.

will the ford grill simply swap for a mazda one....????

Yip, they swap straight over either way,without any modification... The bonnet release catch is much easier to gain access to with the ford grille....

well mine is deffo a mazda, but its got a Ford grill, Im tempted to swap the grill for a mazda 1 but...

a) Iam a ford nut
b) It seems like the ford one has easier access to the bonnet catch...

Yes I reckon it is. And the funny thing is (for me at least) that the Bongo looks really good in that colour whereas a lot of other sportier cars might look a bit tacky. You'd think it would be the other way round.

If I was getting another 95/96 model I'd be very pleased to have a blue one.
God I have a blue 1.....

Of the very many bongo's i've had the privilege of observing down the years, i have seen only one freda in "dave's blue" A few bongo's in that colour, but only one freda. (it has a different paint code from the same mazda colour too).

Post a pic dbo,so we all know which blue we are reffering to... Dabs' bongo for example, is officially a blue bongo. (although we'd say it's grey)
