the builder should have got a huge deposit on kustoms werk like that......

No doubt. The other noteworthy comment in that ad is that the white interior panels are gone. Who the heck would put those in a bus?

Kind of looks like the inside of a cheese grater.
But yeah, that can't be cheap. I took an upholstery class a couple years back and that's a lot of work, and in vinyl you only get one shot. You can't go back and pull stitches. |

I don't even want to know what of drugs you have to be on to imagine and execute that kind of interior. Maybe huffing gas or gold paint? Truly disturbing.

There's a joke making the rounds on social media that a lot of music videos from the early 2000s look like they were shot inside a cheese grater. I thought this bus also looked like the inside of a cheese grater, or maybe the front door from PeeWee's Playhouse. I just found the picture on the internet.  |

That would look nice as an interior for a garden shed. |

I imagine leaving your weewee hanging out in either of those places would result in the need of the same antibiotics.
