Badly Dubbed
If only 90’s kids had got their stance game sorted, perhaps their Halfords ram-raid plastic fantastic creations wouldn’t have been quite so questionable. PVW regular, Lee Dougherty’s R32-powered Mk3 (p8) steals this month’s cover and shows what can b

Under pressure
From a young age, Matt Kendrick has always loved cars. “My dad and grandad were both car guys,” he says. “My grandad even did a bit of racing in his time. That led me into cars and as I got older, I started buying and modifying them.” It wasn’t until

Club 200
It was around 2003 that all-round good guy, ace fabricator and hirsute drag racer, Wayne Allman, decided to do something with the gnarly ’65 Split Single Cab that had come his way (twice) by a chain of not entirely unconnected events. “I’m going to g

Wheels (and Suspension) Maketh The Car

While attending the recent L’oe Show event, I clearly remember thinking to myself that car shows are funny. A show organiser says “Hey, come to my random town that you otherwise probably would never visit or have heard of and I promise I’ll throw a g
