I started off using the precut tint kits you can buy on eBay. Knowing what I know now I would just by the better quality tint by the roll as it's far easier to work with. And in the long run cheaper....

Tint isn't too hard to install, a bus is as easy as it gets. There's no shrinking or anything involved in flat glass. I'm not a professional installer but have done several of my cars over the years...

Tinting yourself is probably the cheapest. As with anything prep work is super important. The window must be clean or all dirt and dust for a good end result. Clean the windows with an ammonia free...

If you want to utilize the original heater/defroster you'll need those lines to run coolant to the front. I think I've read of some people using electric defrosters but can't really recall. Using the...

Mines on the left side just below the air filter housing. I'll get a picture of it tomorrow. I have a Thomas though so it may be in a different spot on yours.

I thought I had a picture of the end connected at the pump but can't find it on my phone. I want to go underneath to eliminate a leak inside and also ease of future maintenance. But many seem to also...

You'll still have some coolant flow to the front with out the boost pump (my pump wasn't working) but it wouldn't be as efficient.

Did you keep the from heater for the defroster? I'd keep the coolant boost pump if you did to help the coolant get pushed to the front. You can always cut it, do your floor etc then just hook it up...

Looks like its probably for the coolant boost pump that's used to help circulate the coolant for the heaters to function at their best

I would vote for removing it. I didn't think mine leaked but we've had some really heavy rain lately and I had a few seams that were leaking. I always planned on removing the ceiling but probably...

I should have painted the window frames when I had them all apart but got lazy and just decided to paint them when I paint the bus. I did sand them all though so at least they are prepped.
