i know its not fast and its not even capable of going off road but once finished this is going to be our home for around 12months or more as we travel Aus in the next few years.

we bought it as a registered Bus a few months ago and have already stripped out the seats and started to remove lino and linings so insulation and new wall linings can be installed.

she is a 38 foot Bedford TFP 200 with a Perkins 5.8ltr 6 Cylinder Diesel.

Custom Coach body.

have purchased Motorhome Battery Bank, Solar Pannels, Generator for when battery's are running low (signwave of course) for running computers and other electrical gear.

we are trying to do as much as we can by ourselves but might end up getting the specialists to install bathroom for us.

so anyway take a look and we will try to keep you posted as to our progress.

Once finished and we are on the road Dragonfly Decals will travel with us, we will probably organise to have meets as we travel around Aus and be able to make Murchandise etc as we go.

When you said you bought a Bedford Wes, I was half thinking of a van, definately not a bus lol...

Good luck with that. You'll need some Pedo Bear stickers on the back though hahahahahaha :lol:

Paint it black with some of those wicked flame decals along the side hehe

haha dont worry guys its going to be pimped out with decals and signs up the side, and it will definately loose the school bus sign very soon, its going to be allot of work thou and its costing more then we planned.

but still allot of fun and i know that its going to be worth more then we ever spend on it.

will post updates as we do things.

thanks for all your support allot of people have told us to wake up to ourselves but this is something that allot of people wait till retirement and then they get sick and never get to do so we figure stuff it we will do it now :)

thanks

Awesome!!! I love the idea of taking a giant bus on a road-trip around Oz. Needs a two-way satellite system, and several other miscellaneous antennae.
Nice buy!! Look forward to seeing more updates on it.

Dude, you're doing it all wrong. Make the back floor really low, put a garage door at the back and park the VR-4 in the last 5 metres of the bus.
