WE BOUGHT A BUS! - EP 1. Welcome to our Japanese import Toyota Coaster.

We bought our dream bus! Follow along as we fit-out our home on wheels. This 2001 Toyota Coaster is a Japanese imported, 1HD-FTE powered bus and we plan to turn in into our home.

In this episode, we introduce our new home on wheels, the story behind it, and tackle the first few tasks before we start the fit-out.

Good luck on the build, you hace a lot of problems to figure out. Wish you great success.

Great find, first thing is to disconnect the door buzzer lol

Crazy that it has such low kms on it... this 22 year old bus just started living it's life with this build. Congrats!

This used to be my school bus in Oman during the early 2000s. Nostalgia hitting me hard 🥲

Should’ve used a steamer for the insulation removal.

FTE?!! looks amazing, what a beauty congrats guys!
A lot of the Japanese imports have that underbody surface rust because they apply salt to the snowy roads over there!
many moons ago we looked at about 40-50 offroad Toyota Hiace vans trying to find one in good condition, they were all rusted 5x worse than yours!
what a find, very rare to get one in that condition!! Cant wait to see what you do with it!

Looks like a good Coaster, and with only 45k kilometres, what a bargain. Enjoy the build.

Brilliant Toyota bus. Keen do see what you do to it!

[AsWeWander]

what a beast of a bus!! awesome first ep and we're keen to watch it all come together

[Phantom-ysur]

Those buses are super comfy on the road.

OMG that's where it went. I seen on fb market place too. So happy for you . This bus so much potential and great bones. Can't wait for the progress vlogs. Enjoy

I’m glad this got recommended to me. You both have a great dynamic and the filming is on point. You have a great eye. What an interesting build too. With house prices and interest rates at an almost unobtainable level for most people, alternative living like this could very well be an option. Enjoy the build process and I look forward to watching more of your adventures. Mark from Cairns 👍

That bus is spotty dog !! Great Project

Coasters are very reliable minibuses. I know of examples from the 1980s that still run strong here in the Philippines.

[nameofluke]

So sick! Keen to see this rig become a home

[cocont]

I see them everywhere here where i live and there’re amazing very fast especially always wondered how it would turn out if it was converted to a motorhome

[lingerseason]

I love y’all’s videography filming style, sweet bus!

[endlessinspirationlifecoaching]
