Rust check: Is this rusty, or good to go?

[derekmichael02]

Team,

Just thought I'd run some pictures by the group... is this considered rust? Would any of these pictures make you nervous? Thanks!

Nope, looks very clean. You are good to go I would buy that with zero hesitations given a clean mechanical bill of health.

Just curious what motor that is? Doesn't look like a Cat or a Cummins or any of the usual motors I see in rear engine school buses.

Are you serious? This is a rust-free bus.

Surface oxidation on engine and exhaust bits is typical, given the wide temperature ranges they live within.
Of more prognostive value is; is there *any* rust around the doors, stairwell(s), hatches, sidewall compartment floors/walls, windows, wheel wells, and where they're attached to the deck?

[derekmichael02]

No - steps and deck clear. Seems to be the end of the matter... thanks for insights!

Looks good from here.

[HazMatt]

Mine looks good from *there,* too!
