This bus is ideal for someone who has a vision of what they want their final build to look like, but would like a head start! It’s a great blank slate for final design and build out. The dirty work and demo has already been done.

The best place to see step by step of what we have done so far is in our highlights on instagram: Bus_Tails

Costs Put in:

Disclaimer:

  • We did all the work ourselves except for when we contracted someone out to do electrical install.
  • We did not like the work they did and pulled our bus from them. We have taken this as a financial loss and have not included it in our pricing for the sale of the bus.
  • We have since removed most of the work they did. There is some wiring left in the bus from their work that can be pulled out and replaced. I recommend getting a licensed electrician experienced in bus builds to install and finish any electrical you want if you are not 100% comfortable doing it yourself.
