Sparty On Bus

We ended up buying this 2010 Blue Bird Vision 66 passenger bus from my father in-law. He runs the busing system up here in northern Michigan It has the 5.9L diesel and only 80K miles.

It took use roughly about 6-8hrs to get all the seats out, we ended up using a cut off wheel and air chisel on the bolts we couldn't get and. Then about a 1hr or so to strip the seats and throw them away in the dumpster. We then took the Metal stripping off the center isle way.

Convert your pics to PNG format before uploading and you won't have the sideways-pics problem any more.

What program are you using to convert them? I used to use photobucket but it's a pay to play website now....

I use Paint 2 (on a Mac) but you can also use Preview (also on Mac) to do the same thing. On a Windows machine you can just use Paint.

Was able to get the heater out last night & start the sub floor. Had some help from the 3 wild ones as well….

We’re bring it home this morning for the max dash to get the sub floor in & out to the State Park for the Halloween weekend.

Also started tearing out the side tins to install wood walls. Then we got the power box mocked into place.
