Good morning skoolie land! I am just getting started on this chapter of my life, and have been dreaming/slow planning a bus conversion for a little over a year now. We will financially be in the market in about 6 months, but as of yet have nowhere to work on our bus. I haven't used an online forum for a couple of years now, so, I may be doing this wrong... let me know if I am posting in the wrong place, and I'll fix it asap. I am looking for some space to do our conversion on, and think that it will probably take a little over a year, as so many of our months in the PNW prohibit outdoors kind of work. I have been keeping my eyes on some auctions, and am partial to the CROWNS from Cali circa 1980's generation... what beauties those are! We are looking to spend $5000 or less on the bus, and also wondering what kind of mechanics there are up in the PNW for busses. I am not sure what else to post at this point, other than perhaps pictures of my cardboard models that I've made over the year!!
Pics are always good and good luck with both your hunts.
