That night the brakes of the bus got even worst, and at times they were braking very hard and uneffective, and than while pressing softly nice and correct. In Effect, Filip had to drive slowly keeping the distance, and it was best to arrive in Semerang, thtough the high mountains while it was relatively empty on the roads. Yumos was very welcoming, Elios could play with his children, while Filip took time to make a small interview about the brasilian - to split transformations. The basic idea is to use popular in Indoensia - Brasilian vw bus made from 1980 to 1984 and converting it by cutting the front off and building from start a new vw split front. The work takes time and an average conversion from fisrt cut to paint takes an average of 6 months. The back corners get rounded off to oval lamps. The air vents get cut out, fliped and an extra cm is added where its needed. Front goes off, and new body is brought out. All the sheet work is done by hand. Formed painstakingly by Yumos skilled workers. The front doors, as well as side doors are also made to look like the old split. Even the Bumpers are folded and welded together to make a reproduction bumper. Afterwards the whole bus is covered with epoxi fiberglass filler to even out the uneven welds.
The efect is amasing, and the new bus is resembling the actual vw split. Its however only a replica. Yumos took care of our bus, by taking it to his mechanic, where the bus had brakes looked at, and the horn put in order. After the necessary repair Filip can now finally drive the bus like he should be driving in Jawa = being able to brake and sound his horn. The next 3 days passed calmly in a rainy sea storm - following the coast to jakarta Airport.
