Looks like a lot of work, but it sure looks cool.

Actually looks pretty straight. But it is a 55 year old bus! And doesn't look like it has power steering (didn't see the pump on the back of the engine). I have never felt restricted from using a transit bus-I have everything I need in the bus plus the under storage isn't even close to being full. You can get a used transit of the '80-'90 vintage for around $5,000. Course it isn't a 4104. Good Luck, TomC

There's a very cool old bus on UK eBay at the moment too - item No. 170191423522:

In it's present state it could be the central character in a Stephen King novel, but with a ton of work and some modern mechanicals it would be cooler than a 2008 Newell or Custom Coach. Strangely enough it is in the same small town in Devon where my coach came from
