Bus Expenses
For all those interested in how much a bus conversion costs, particularly a cheap conversion, here are my expenses. I don't remember what every little expense is for, I just listed the place from where I purchased everything. These expenses include the cost of the bus and gas for the trip when I drove it home, and other expenses while on the road. For the most part, the auto store purchases are mostly oil and paint stripper, while the Home Depot and OSH expenses are lumber and "household" goods to outfit the interior. Specifics are listed where I remembered.
