[QUOTE="Graham L, post: 530679, member: 3481"] As a guide we usually budget £1500-£2k to get a US import to a running and MOT condition assuming it has an engine that runs etc, as a matter of course you need to go through all the brakes and ideally replace, steering links, ball joints, electrics. Remember in the US there is no such thing as an MOT so running gear etc tends to be in far worse condition than if the bus had been MOT'd each year. This does not include any bodywork or major engine work, if buying a bus buy the most complete one you can as once an engine is removed lots of other bits soon disappear and it all mounts up :) [/QUOTE]
