Can anyone top this? awning Winner to recieve a roller and 1 gal. of exterior latex. Just kidding!

Here is what we started with - a $1000 73 Winnie. winnie
After 3 years of use everything still worked except for the body, so we gutted it, saved everything except the cabinetry and moved it to the 4905. I couldn't even begin to purchase the parts to build the 4905 for under $1000! Gotta love making do! Here's the inside so far. We have since added an AC unit where that panel is in the ceiling, doors on the cabinets and counters.interior

If you think the outside is ugly, you should see the interior..the boys from Deliverance lived in it.

Question....what constitutes an "ugly bus"? Beauty is still, far as I know, in the eyes of the beholder>>> :-)

Good qiestion R.C.! I'd say, to keep things just in fun, beauty (or ugly) is soley in the eye of the owner. I think it's really cool to see what condition things are in at the beginning to better understand and appreciate the effort taken to bring them to the present condition.

Some may think my bus is ugly, but to me she is beautiful.( My wife calls it the Swamp Bus) Love the classic look, and the sound of her sweet runing 6-71 mmmmmmmmmmm!! I am sure we all think our buses are beautiful.
