Dean, welcome to PC
You must be a tinker wanting to take on a bus remodel.
FWIW….if you can find a bus that needs repair but at the point of purchase is driveable. With the talents on this board I think you would be happier from the get go. Many of the PC guys are taking things apart daily and I’am amazed at the help with any project available here.
This way you can use the expertise of PC members, tech contacts, parts suppliers and so on. I’ll admit I like to work on our bus …..BUT the fun comes using it.
just saying
