Thats crazy! $5k used to get you a driver bus.  Now, you get a pile of crap to spend all your free time/money on.

…All things considered I’m not convinced that is such a good deal. You could save your money for two years and buy a good bus that doesn’t need everything. Save yourself all that crappy work. You’re going to spend a grip of money however you do it.

Yep Franz your right 5000$& 5000hrs of your time to build a sweet bus. If I could save money I would but I like to make it and spend it.  Life is short so enjoy it while your here. I am going to my niece’s birthday today she turned 9 on 11/11 so we are going to party.

pressed bumper panel buses are the shitt!! So with the citrastrip do u guys leave it on for a hour or  like 4 hrs. I don’t want to fuck this up. I am going to try it?

There no one rule for all on this one……depends on prep for respray and quality/type of paint trying to strip. Do some tests and go slow at first. It’s pretty hard to fuck up the og paint with citra but u can…it will soften it if left too long or agrsssivly going at the top layer. Get yourself a couple packs of plastic razor blades. They look exactly like the reg sharp fuckers but don’t dig in an edge.
