Hello, thanks for looking. This is my 2004 Bongo which I've owned fresh from import in 2021.
I had looked at around 15 other buses before buying this one; they were all rotten or going that way. This was a relatively high mileage import but you have to buy these on body condition. This was by far and away the nicest Bongo I'd seen.
Reason for sale is the kids are getting bigger, and they struggle to fit in the roof comfortably.
I will include pictures of the underside, including all of the areas that go on these - usually the sills, spot welds, rear arches, suspension mounts and rear corners. I have kept up with maintenance on these and gave it a full 3-day workover earlier this month with the following:
Oil + filter
Air filter
Fuel filter (mileage and date written on these for reference)
I then went over the underside with:
Wire brush
Ferrozinc rust converter
Primer
Dinitrol 4941
Focused applying the Dinitrol on the spot welds and joins across the whole bus incl. the sills. Check out those spot welds on the wheel arches!
4 matching tyres on CX-3 wheels but they're getting a little old (2018).
Loads more details but running out of characters. Give me a call to discuss.
