Man, the Indonesians are just killing it. I've seen some astounding motorcycles built over there, and VWs too, but this giant thing takes the cake.

I do not admire the graphics, and the soundtrack is even worse, but viewing is essential. I need a TIG.

talented build for sure!


A) how do they do work in flip flops. I'd be minus a few toes

B) if you are going to put deluxe trim around the bus i would have done deluxe trimmed bumpers too.

That's the proper way to do the Battery Door hack. That thing looks sweet.

Radical shoes. The woman looks to have two left legs.

My slow computer connection has trouble viewing videos but is that Split made from a Bay?

Barryl, yes it is, from one whaled on in some sort of catastrophic crash.

Kinda thought given the whopping scale of this thing they would have opted for a Subaru but whatta I know.

This is 2017, legs are different nowadays.

Nice fab work.

Hard to tell what with the custom-osity, but it appeared a VW motor.

Wearing a respirator, and flip-flops, while welding. Is that akin to wearing a condom while smoking meth?

Imagine working all day squatting on your haunches in 110 degree heat and 1000% humidity- like being an orchid that welds and fabricates.
Indonesians are the real Ubermensch. We should all be so damn tough and resourceful.
