     That's an expensive way to go but there's a good chance it's the best choice and the least cost overall in the long term.  I think that's good maintenance planning.
     Good luck for now on with this project, Denis.

Better price them first.
No, this bus won't leave it's concrete pad before brake, suspension and steering is all rebuilt with new parts (including air tanks, valves, fitting, hoses...) the frame will be completely sandblasted and primed. i plan to invest around 25k for the chassis including cooling upgrade and all the wiring. Then i will begin the conversion.
I want peace of mind.
