    Meet Skoolio The 1990 GMC Vandura Short Bus

    Images can be seen on my blog: https://wp.me/p3cOO5-2oh The very first few repairs, tweaks and mods done on Skoo have been minor and fairly simple.

    ^^^^ I try to write for the internet by keeping paragraphs short, on point and easy to read. The new bus project is going to be a lot of fun and I am sure there will be a lot of head scratching too. Hopefully with the weather starting to warm up, I won’t have to worry about snow for awhile...
