I scrapped a bus in 2001 that I'd owned for 7 years and wished i'd never done it. I said i would save a bus when i was in a position to do so, so I have, a few more than I'd planned, but I love to see the pictures of them at the start and the end.
Let's see what you've saved?
Here's a couple of mine, all sold now, but all saved. Karma restored ;)













The bus i scrapped that was also my home for a year. :cry: 1968 RHD tiptop Devon. Hindsight :roll:

I didn't change much on the outside. Lowered it, put foglights on it, powdercoated the bumpers, etc.

The interior is a different story. i completely renewed it. Headliner, floor, panels, upholstery, R&R bed, dashboard, steering wheel, etc.
