I like the interior aesthetic, something like what I am aiming towards (except mine will be the low-budget version!).   The open airy feel is apparent  -  keeping as many windows as possible to let in light seems a good way to make the interior less claustrophobic.

I also like the clean modernist look to the Ozibus  -  no wood, just simple plain white and black, and he still keeps it bright even with most of his windows painted over:  http://www.ozibus.com/content/gallery/interior/new.html

My vision is Bauhaus meets IKEA, but for now I have to complete all the under-floor tanks/plumbing/wiring/solar/etc before I can start the inside.   Maybe by then there will be a whole new school of interior design!

Thanks for that Frybrid link - I hadn't come across that before, and it is definitely my style too.

I have a collection of 'photos of Sunseeker powerboat interiors that I am using for inspiration - specifically the woodwork, which consists of flush curved veneer surfaces with big-radius hardwood cappings and very deep varnish.

The only bus interior I have so far seen which I like is this one - you might like it too:

A shameless plug for my business - visit www.magazineexchange.co.uk for back issue magazines - thousands of titles covering cars, motorbikes, aircraft, railways, boats, modelling etc. You'll find lots of interest, although not much covering American buses sadly.

Andy,

I do not claim these conversions as my own  -  they are some that inspire me to do similarly.   Mine will be the low-budget versions, functional but probably without the finesse that $$$$$ allows.

I'm a huge fan of the frybrid one! It's one of the many sites i "researched" prior to purchasing our bus!
