Motivation to anyone building a bus.

Post by 1972 »

So have read thru a few pages of people, who build busses that need more than just a coat of paint.

Of all of them this one has to top the charts.
(At the bottom of each page there is a Verder naar deel 2 and so on...should get you to the other peices of the build)

After seeing this and a few others, it makes my bus look like a walk in the park :mrgreen:

Ok maybe not :? :lol:

...then buy a cleaner bus, and convert it into that one.
Was a way of getting it out of the hole it was in :?: :D
