This is a really low budget project, trying to spend the least amount possible. Which is a little hard cause its a piece of crap eastcoast rust bucket shell of a bus with mostly no parts.
The way I got it:
Then some work:
The 4.25" lift (suspension drop)
Shifter drop.
Gutter fix.
Rest of the bodywork.
Paint.
Driving & almost done.

I'm starting to get little wafts of bus stink coming from the north. Something about the unique scent of drivers seat padding when it's glued together with mouse piss and shit that really gets me going... and I'm smelling it! Oh yeah! Time to start loading up the equipment. |

Time frame; How long did it take for you to build the bus? Did you do all of the work in your driveway? |

about 3 months of weekends & some nights after work all in the driveway. No show Bus by no means, just a trail/beach Bus. _________________ -Corey

Sweetness. I like that you fixed the rear cut wheel wells. (and still lifted it)
Tire details? I rounded up a set of 15" bus wheels for my Thing and those tires look right. _________________ "Okay, so there's 6 beers and 5 of us. You know what this means don't you? 4 of you are going to have to leave."
