mebbe Nikki can't afford it either, though. I reckon that to do buy a
decent GS and convert it to a credible minibus with proper "M2" seats would
get you somewhere near 10 grand. It'd be a bit cheaper starting with an
ambulance.

I think both would need too much jbex. Better to start with a
chassis-cab and molish a custom body.

yebbut, a GS *is* almost a chassis cab. Take the sides and stuff off it and
all you've got is a floor

Ditto. If the shipping from here wasn't so feckin expensive I'd ship a
load of stuff out of my lockup to them. I'm sure there's at least a
couple of IBM S/360's in there somewhere.
