hi
Does anybody here know of someone who makes and sells a one piece fiberglass frontend to suit a type3 notch or anyone who could make one from scratch?

cheers

Vintage has one available for a Beetle.

Never seen one for a Type 3

You could do it yourself.
You need a steel front end to use as a plug. fill all the gaps up with clay. Then you paint on a releasing agent. then you glass your own mould using the front of the other car. This mould is then glassed into and you pop the f/glass front back out of it.
there's a guy in england who did recently with a ghia. Here is the site.
