HN / Nellie / Hotty Notch... 68 Slammed Type 3

BenettonVW · 2003-05-18T09:02:27+00:00

Owned now since roughly the Campout in Feburary, when JIMGOW shat it's pants, the HN(Hotty Notch) has been in the garage ever since really.. The Notch is the third VW I currently own, and possibly the best. For those that haven't been in a Type 3, they are far more quiet than a Beetle, as well as way more room and interior space, including TWO boots. Anthony(BLKBUG) did a great job with this car, and most of the work and condition can be attributed to him, so by no means can I take the credit for it. Once I got it, then yeah, whack some more accessories on it from the Beetle or that I had collected, and bingo, cruise it. The best part is the originallity of the car combined with the ride height and accessories, resulting in something quite different, and something that is quite individual at this stage.

Evaporative airconditioning, water into it, air blows through with car speed, air cooled by water, cool air comes in..

No fans. Fans are available aftermarket, but not in the times.

Yeah, our drivers side.. strictly low speed or show vibes only..

Had my whitewalls put on 356 chromies today and put on my Notch.. The offset was about an inch different, which I thought have considered, and thus pushing the wheels closer to the guards by about an inch.. The results...

The rear was left with about 1-2mm between whitewall and the gaurd.. Not enough. One bump and it would chew through the whitewall.. Not nice.
The front wasn't too bad.. on an empty tank of fuel.. Had to three point turn my way out of the servo.. 🙂

Anyway, the look is cool, but it can't stay unfortunetly..

You should roll you guards Jim, then have them touched up. They'll be virtually un-noticable unless you're looking for them

Yeah.. Prefer to keep it as close to original as possible, with reversable changes only. Thats why those dummy spots hurt so much..

Yeah, well changing guards is one of the simplest jobs you'll ever have to do. Plus the driveabiliy bonuses of it now it's slammed is well worth it.
And trust me, you won't be able to tell they're rolled.:thumb
