    Beautiful looking bus and look forward to seeing it one day
    Is the underside of the upper bed finished? Tape looks a bit???
     
  6. Yep a bit looks a bit untidy , it's trying to get the right thickness tape I can live with it

  9. mine came from Australia but they do turn up occasionally. Just make sure you get the switch and wiring.. mucho money and mucho noise
