A bit controversial?

Post by mycallsevern » Wed Jul 13, 2016 7:23 pm

Okay so I'm not sure how this is going to go down but here it is. I think the Freda front end is better looking than the early Bongo front end. There I said it.

What do you think? Should I get my coat?

There's a hybrid around the corner from me, it's a N Reg Ford Freda from the front but badged up Mazda Bongo from the back.
Looks original enough....

Oh, I've never seen a hybrid, is it a Frongo or a Bonda?

I had a mazdaspeed grill on the front of my bongo, which in my opinion gave it a better look altogether.
