Howdy forum!
Brandon here. I just sent my payment and request to buy my new bus!
2000 Thomas 83 pass.
Front engine
80k miles
Cummins
Air ride
As soon as the title arrives I get to start ripping into it.

Plans.
Roof raise 1 foot.
Strip my motorhome and use parts to build this bus.

Hmm can't fugue out how to upload pics via my phone. I'll figure it out and post a pic of the bus and my jeep.

I'm not that sad. Was holding out for a rear but tired of waiting. Plus a killer price helps ease the pain. Lol
