Mi lista de deseos"
Cuando era niño, siempre había soñado con tener mi propio "Splitty"; de hecho, siempre había sido el deseo número uno de mi lista de deseos. Hace ocho años, estaba un paso más cerca de cumplir ese sueño cuando mi esposo me dio un "bono de regalo"... después de 5 años de búsqueda, encontramos el autobús de mis sueños: un T1 Splitty original de 1968 sin restaurar de Brasil. Me tomó otros 3 años restaurarlo a su brillo original hasta que finalmente llegó el día mágico en que pude recogerlo.
La restauración
3 años de duro trabajo con pasión por los detalles
Our Splitty played taxi for a convent of nuns - just like the one you see here. After 45 years of loyal service, we are convinced that everyone enjoying the bus today, somehow senses that the spirit of the old nuns lives on!
Our namesake, the Nobel Peace Prize winner Mother Teresa, was the obvious choice for a bus driven by nuns. From now on, our bus would be called, "Teresa"!
After a lengthy ocean crossing, she finally arrived – but in pretty bad shape. Nevertheless, a sticker on the front window claiming “Monjas” (Portuguese for "nuns”), the cross pendant hanging from the rearview mirror, and her touching story, convinced us – this had to be our bus!
Only one, torn bench remained. Now the bus has a beautiful dualtone cream and beige interior with elegant accents of chrome.
Sadly, the old radio didn't work. Now we have a modern Soundbox with Bluetooth technology to listen to your favourite songs.
means "Faith Warrior" in Portuguese – the nuns were on a mission!
means "Jesus loves you" – which gives you super powers, if you believe!
means "God is faithful" – there is a lot of truth in that. Without Him, Teresa would probably have landed up in a scrapyard.
A professional restoration from the ground up starts with a complete stripping down so that all rusty bits can either be treated, or replaced.
