    Bought a bus.

    Yup.
    I got tired of hooking up my trailer to my soccer mom minivan and decided to buy a short bus.

    It has a wheelchair lift.

    It has gobs of potential.

    I decided that I'm gonna get rid of the trailer (not my van) and convert this here 20 passenger bus into a trackday bike hauler.

    Now... is anyone on here able/willing to convert a school bus to a trackday hauler? Asking for a friend...

    Re: Bought a bus.

    if you already have a working lift you are 90% done. remove the seats, add a shelf or two, a wheel chock, and some tie down points. what else could you need?

    I'm on my second van build. Ton's of internet inspiration. A mini-bus should be easy with all that space and the fact its really just a box.

    Where's Oxx?

    He used a full size bus as a race rig for years.

    The heated mirrors sold me!

    Congrats! Always wanted to build out a bus when I was at the track!

    Looks like the last update he put out was removing the seats 6 months ago.
