1997 El Dorado by Thor Conversion - FULL TIME FAMILY MADNESS!!!

I have been working on this baby non stop for 3.5 months. Didn't want to bore anyone with the normal bus conversion shennaningans. I will continue to post updates as I go, since things finally seem to be a bit more smooth sailing. So far it has been 8-10 hour days 6 days a week. So worth it! Planning on hitting the road full time Zeus willing!

Dude, that is looking good. Fast work too. I'd love to see what the exterior of your bus looks like. Impressive interior.

Thanks robin, I will compile some better photos. Been so busy that I honestly haven't documented it to my liking but have a good amount of photos along the way.

What's important is new ideas about how to build. Oddly enough many lately seem to be posting a thread after the fact.

I did the same thing, although for different reasons. Last spring about this time of year my internet went down, for ten months. My build wasn't fast like yours, but I also took pics along the way then made a mess of my thread. A journalist I'm not.

I can't believe how you've been moving so fast on your build. It looks great, inside and out. It looks like you're campable already. Most of us take a year or two to get where you are.
Impressive.
