Excellent news Brora, and great to hear the old Bongo is still doing sterling service.

Don't encourage him Mike. Donald is becoming as bad as Ady. All the bits of Bongo junk in Scotland seems to end up with Donald.

Hoy, 'Bongo junk' - cheeky bugger !
The wheels are looking really good

. Hope you managed to get the job done for a reasonable price. It is def worth shopping around for this kind of job.
I found that the handling when they were fitted was probably better than my current steels with the same make and size of tyres. Unlike a lot of imports I know a bit about the previous owner as mine was not bought from an auction house. He was a professional mechanic so he must have known what wheels suited the Bongo.
Anyway,all the best

If the rims are as good as you say Geoff I would have had them myself and passed on my current ones in exchange. No problem with them but I really like the look of the ones you gave Donald.
As for the bits of junk I was referring (well mostly) to the bits and pieces that Donald has had off me.

Have to admit they looked a bit rough with the paint peeling off ,but he has done a great restoration job on them.Yes, I like the rounded 'minilite - ish' look too.
