need to have a section where i can ask notch questions.

would ask that you notch fans keep an eye out so that i can get as much info as i can. this is my first.

neville is a '72.

1st question is does anyone recognise the rims on him. they are 15 in allows. and if you look close at the pattern it would seem its got the german cross in it... any ideas?

and very importantly...

how do i lower this baby?????

and who has spares? in case i need to ask/acquire.:kiss

The rear is as per the rear of a beetle etc


the front is the same concept but easier

i have rebooted my computer so i dont have the article on my computer anymore but somene will have it which gives you the EXACT method

cheers

Welcome to the Notchback brigade, great to see the enthusiasm!!
I myself was introduced to a '72 Notch and it soon became my first car.

I admit I have neglected it over the past few years. But it never forgot the times we had together, and when i came to liberate it from Dad's front lawn, it, JUST LIKE NEVILLE STARTED FIRST GO!!!

I believe they are a true evolution of the vw and are beautiful in their own right!

I'm looking forward to seeing more of neville, and will track his progess religiously

Rock on!

so were they an after market thing?

is there many getting around. i haven't seen them b4.

They look damn nice...
i havent seen them before.....
I usally have spares around here....
Just let me know what your after and i can usally track it down if i dont have it.
Get onto Skewy or Type3kid for article about lowering you notch.

Enjoy!

hey twoguns!
welcome to the type 3 world.
skewy still has the method of lowering. he has had trouble sending it. when he does if he doesn't send it to you i will. tazz gave me a 2 minute lesson at valla on lowering the front and it seems easy as.
as for spares i have 2 70's type 3's out the back and i'm always on the lookout for more spares or complete cars for parts. when you need something just ask someone will ahve it or know where to get it.
hope i was of some help.
cheers, kid :thumb

Not many Ronals getting around, they should look great when cleaned up, really go well with that colour, apparently they’re very light too.

yeah have tried a clean on the rims... they are a bit stained and look like they have been painted. so i will work out how far to go with them later.

type3kid i need a couple of minor things, like to front door trims in black, but will get onto you next week about it.

desperately need to know about the lowering of the front by sunday night. so i wiat eagerly for the info...

common type 3 fans...
i need the info to lower my front end.....:bounce

looks like i need a new passenger window channel. this one is ratted and therefor cant wind window. been told that would probably come with glass fitted.

am going to need two front door trims. black.

probably need front disc caliper/s.

rear engine lid in boot has no latches or insulation, would need bits or whole lid.

can any one help. please thanks.

and still details on lowering front.

Hey twoguns
got a spare engine cover from a square. not in the best condition but pretty straight....if it helps

its not the actual cover, but more the accesories such as the lock nuts. hanging clip and insulation that i am after. mine is good except bare.



oh and i do need front door trims.

have been slack with the camera. neville is all back together and shined up a treat. will get pics. he runs turns and stops. next will be the tidy up of dints. etc.... after 'saint' aka WHTEMAN lowers the old boy an inch or two, while im away.

Yeh yeh i'm here...... shish....
