well me and a guy i race withg bought a short bus today! It is unbelievably awesome, it can seat 19 people, but not for much longer! We are totally gutting it, putting in a couch, a bunk bed, 19' TV, vcr, PS2, N64, DVD player, we have 2 10' MTX's in a single box, and a 12' sony explode, the expolde is powered by a 1000 watt explode amp, and the MTX's by a 800 watt rocksford, we got 8 sony explode 6x9's that we are putting all over in it, and 2 sony explode 4 channel 600 watt amps to power them all, we got a buncha neons that we are lining the corners with, putting 2 big stainless steel stacks on the back, trailer hitch on the back to pull our trailer to the races, we might be getting a sparco racing seat for the drivers seat, painting it in a mirror black finish and alot of diamond plate alluminum.

I'm gonna try and get some pics of it today, we already started tearing some stuff out of it, but its just seas and **** like that, so it looks alot like it did when we picked it up still.

That's sweet. My buddy and I have been thinking the same exact thing for a while, short of all that stereo equipment. Fab a rear door that swings open with a pullout ramp for quads and sleds and make the rest a camper. :cool: But we are gonna go with a bigger bus.

its really short, i'm talking it might be 10 feet long from back of driver seat to back door, and that wouldn't be enough for 3 quads, besides we have an enclosed trailor to put the quads in

our local radio station drives a painted short bus. that thing is so sweet. when you license it make sure to title it as a 'CAMPER' so insuance is dirt cheap.
