BADLY DUBBED

Performance VW

THE UNDERDOG • The Mk1 Scirocco may have been prettier and the Corrado sleeker, but a handful of people still held the Mk2 ’Rocco in high regard. Our editor is one of them, and Dennis Geluck - owner of this cracker - is another!

WHAT’S NEW

THE VOLKSWAGEN OWNERS’ EVENT • There won’t be many Volkswagen products that haven’t visited the car park at its UK HQ since the company moved there 45 years ago – but it’s never hosted a group quite like this one, until now.

WHY THE LONG ROOF? • Regular readers will be familiar with Neil Montgomery. His three-door caged and ICE’d Mk5 GTI is every inch the show car and took the cover slot for our September 2020 issue. For this build, he’s gone sensible. Sort of…

DAILY EXPRESS • Faced with a wrecked project car and no quick fix, Dawid Szejn channelled half a lifetime of motorsport influences into his daily driver – a DTM-inspired Polo with 241hp of TDI-swapped performance on tap.

THE LAST HURRAH • Serial modifier Dean Pressnell is serious this time, he’s told both PVW and his long-suffering wife that this is his final build. A Mk7 Wagon might not be the most obvious starting point but we reckon he might just have saved the best to last…

HOT, HOT, HOT • After a lengthy hiatus, Belgium’s VAG Nation event returned in 2022 to massive rave reviews. Here, organiser, Krstof Heyvaert kindly talks us through some of last year’s highlights…

CRAFTWORK • There are so many converters out there that it’s almost impossible to choose one to build your dream van. For Anthony Craft, owner of this stunning Blackberry T6, that wasn’t a problem. He cut out the middleman and built it himself…

BACKSECTION

WHAT IS… RESTOMOD? • So, is it just a posh, well heeled way of saying modified? Well, yes and no. Allow us to - attempt - to define the undefinable and answer the 64 million dollar question, what is a RestoMod?

GLORY BOY • If you tuned in last time, then you’ll be aware that our Midge made a fairly big dent in decking out the back of our Project Caddy Race Support van. Well, this time, he hopes to finish it off.

WE ARE UNITY • Our roving US East Coast reporter, Scott Herdling, checks out the latest event to hit New England, Northeast Unity. Looks like it was something of a corker…

BACK ISSUES • Complete your print collection now!

REWIND • We may not have always been so finely polished, but we’ve always been at the forefront of the modded dub scene. Ah the good ol’ days…
