The SEMA Show and the automotive aftermarket industry have long had gasoline running through their veins. With the rise in EVs from OEMs, EV swap kits and supporting products, there has been a noticeably increased interest in these technologies at the SEMA Show. That transition was obvious walking through the aisles, displays and halls of the 2022 SEMA Show. More builds are being electrified and swapping internal combustion engines for electric motors, drivetrains and battery packs.
Kevi Govender always had a passion for cars, especially the VW air-cooled kind. This passion led him to a situation where he was stumbling around in the dark at 00:30 at night in Danville, Pretoria in order to look at a 1967 VW Split Window Bus. The bus would be a father and son project. Unfortunately, Kavis father (Ravi Govender) passed away and in a twist of fate, the bus helped him through this very difficult time.

From the outset, I have to state that this is my dream car and therefore it has special significance for me. I regrettably spurned the opportunity of buying myself one 10 years ago in the hope that I would find one in a better condition. I could not have imagined that the price I would have paid then has multiplied by a factor of at least 30. It is for this reason that I followed this 1956 VW Split Window kombi home 5 years ago but no amount of money will buy it, as youll soon find out.
