Reclaimed, repaired and converted into a loving home on wheels.
Big thanks to good friends and proper grease monkeys Shred & Butta for putting in a shift on this one.
We managed to corner their CEO and creative genius, Jim Stewart, to ask a couple Qs on S&B's background in the conversion space and all things Little Firs build out.
“Bringing those colours alive and the feel, the different textures of the woods and stuff like that… So people will see it and go, yes, this is a bus that is made to roam.”

How much influence did the ‘Made To Roam’ mindset have on the build? We’re thinking colour choices, recycled materials, and interior layouts.
"I think what’s great about the whole ‘Made To Roam’ ethos is that it’s very much about the adventurer, the outdoorsy kind of person, which is gonna really bring that community together because we’ve kind of created that space where people can come in, they can hang out…
"There’s a lot of reclaimed materials, there’s a lot of really cool feature walls and things. We’re bringing the inside out, with a big service hatch on the side. We’ve got light boxes going on to really attract people over to the bus and make them feel welcome.
"So that’s gonna be the really key thing here is, you know, bringing those colours alive and the feel, the different textures of the woods and stuff like that… So people will see it and go, yes, this is a bus that is made to roam."
