If anyone is interested in this bus body please PM me.
Located in Noosa. Body was built around 2007 I think. I can confirm this shortly. This was a bus body built for a FG649 and used on the beach so the base frame and partway up the sides were built completely from stainless steel channel and angle. All panels are fibreglass and in good condition. There is still seats and a bus Aircon fitted. Note the extra wide passthrough and high fibreglass snorkel fitted to the front. The frame of the entry door needs some work. The windows used to open at the top but they have been sealed shut at some point. There is a large rear boot. It was spring mounted to the old chassis but the bottom half of the mounts are not included. ATW should be able to supply these.
Would make a great base for a heavy duty offroad motorhome. $8000 is the asking price.
Regard John.

That is some lovely photoshop work!Seriously though, If I were closer I would seriously consider this!

Hahaha......yeah that's about as good as it gets with photoshop on my iPad. Haha. Yeah the company that used to own them still had sign writing on the sides and didn't really want their name splashed about or people calling them by mistake. This is a very very strong shell and sure is worth considering. Regards john.

I'd agree that it would be a great start.
I'm not an expert, but it is just a 'box' so I'd think there should be no restrictions.
Although that fabric pattern on the seat might cause a quarantine issue :Wow1:

I "dreamed" about putting it in a container and shipping it over. What an amazing place to start.

Yeah...I have a clean FG84 that I am planning to sell in a couple of months......this bus shell would be a good thing to fit on the back if someone was after a complete vehicle on the road.

Keep in mind the entry door is on the wrong side.

This looks like the vehicle built by Don and Kim Greene. They traveled for 5 years through 40+ countries as part of their Adventure Learning foundation activities. I'm not sure who purchased the vehicle from the Greenes in 2010. Read about the vehicle here

Yes, that's the Greene's build.
Here's some related links to their trips and the vehicle build up.
