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.

Awsome! Saw it for the first time at the nats this year, probably spent half my time drooling over this one car!

Shame about the 356 wheels. I've got the same problem with the BRMs on my square. I rolled the guards & still only have about 3mm clearance. Looks like short axels for me too! I reckon I'll have to go lower after seeing the notch though!!

Hey 65square,

I have the same problem with those rims there too.. Unforunetly most wheels are setup for Beetle offsets, BRM's, 356's and the Beetle rims I have on there(obviously) so they are a touch wider in the end...

I was thinking of getting an inch taken out of the front rims, making them 3.5 inch, but giving me a little more turning circle... dunno.

YEah man, Now your talking. And you can get your rear ones offset changed, (ever so slightly!) so it wont be so close to the guards.

Well, it did, but I bought it in the first place and gave it to Anthony when I had second thoughts about it.. He put it on, and then, well, it changed hands back again.. the irony.

Jim I was telling the guys on Saturday about what to do to my notch. Matt black roof, Real internal Spotlight on the passenger side, flipper caps, whitewalls, and redroping it! My q to you is, have you got any t3 accesories you want to get rid of to a fellow dripper?

As I was saying to you on that Chapel St cruise dude, not a great deal hey..

Uhh.. Got some Happich trim rings, 7L fuel tank for the spare wheel, and not too much else that would fit Notches.. Hording a little bit of Beetle crap for my next Beetle down the road, but most of my Beetle stuff that will fit on the Notch is on there already! That stuff is German, so it wouldn't be cheap, but message me if you are interested, but it probably isn't what you are after..
