Ta-Da

Not the best of photos but I was too tired and too wet from the rain. I apologize it's been so long since any kind of an update. Still messy inside the bus but it's finally starting take shape. I sure was sick of working on the framing and insulation...it's nice to see some finishing work.
The photos above shows the ceiling going up...I've decided to keep the original lights with the Bluebird logo covers.
The photo above was taken looking in the front door...it shows the linoleum laid in the drivers area. I chose that for easy clean up when it's muddy and wet outside...like today.

And in the photo below is the center console. More photos coming...thanks for waiting :o)

Thanks Dick...it's finally starting to look like my vision. It's taken MUCH longer than I had planned. Too many interuptions from "life".

Shadowmoss...I'm glad you've been patient enough to still be here...lol...I have LOTS of photos and details to share.

You really have a talent at this.

I wish I could take an old bus and make it a fancy home, and be totally independent, except for the gas required.

Great job!

Thanks, Bill...it's not as hard as you might think. You've heard the saying "If I can do it, anybody can" It's absolutely true in this case, lol. I watched youtube videos and looked at bus photos online to figure this out. As far as the fuel, well I have the feeling my bus will be parked much more than it'll be driven :D

Yeah!! Beautiful stuff. Love the ceiling and the lights and the paneling and the cowl cover and, and, and...well done! So livable, even in its present state. Yay, more photos.

Hey there Blu, Your bus looks great. I FINALLY got a bus, well most of a bus. It's a back yard parker with no motor or front end that's going to be my craft studio when I get through with it. A 1965 Willock/Bluebird that was a schoolie and then a logging company transport bus, then a stationary workshop for my late partner and a friend on a property near Duncan. Glad you finally got to Canada. If I'm adressing you in a familiar tone it's because we met on Sharkey's bus barn years ago
