Started to pull flooring when I figured out all 12 rear lights leak, 8 rivets leak, and 3 windows have been leaking for who knows how many eons
Poor wheel wells

Welcome to the club, my rusty brother. I was going to make some comments about rust remediation, but then I watched you chop your bus in half and I figured you know where you're going with this. Nice work.

Also welcome to skoolie.net. If you click on User CP in the upper left corner, you can fill in your details and then people will know where you are and what species of bus you have.

Damn, ECCB, what do you get when you hit 20,000 posts? I'm still waiting for my free bus for hitting 1000.

lol
My wish would be for a commemorative plaque and coffee mug.
But honestly post count means zilch to me. Its the quality of the posts that counts. Chris wins that one hands down. You'd be in contention for an award as well.
OP is a great example as well.

I appreciate it. I haven't been thanked 75 times or anything ( ) but I try.
It would be interesting to set up voting for the Annual Skoolie Awards. You could have categories like Best New Innovation (I'd vote for the bay windows right now but it's only January), Prettiest Paint Job, Most Boondocky etc.
OP, sorry to clutter your thread but this is your fault. My bus layout has been set in stone for a while now, but now I'm trying to see if I can work in bay windows (or maybe just one) anywhere like this.

Removed the strobe lights and replaced with the brake/blinkers. Pulled the leaky upper window out also.
Once I verified(with my garden hose) that nothing was leaking anymore, I replaced the insulation and panels

Ambitious project! Hat tip to you for tackling it. What are you going to do with that space that you’ve opened up at the back of your bus?
