Fresh from a heart transplant/ rebuild, Nellie is back on the streets, and looking forward to making a debut @ Valla..

Here's a taste until my sister, the photographer, takes some better pics. Hopefully by then she will be a bit cleaner..

OZ Towdster - July 19th, 2004 at 06:32 PM

So whats the count on accessories onthis low bad boy. Oops i mean girl sorry Nellie.

BenettonVW - July 19th, 2004 at 07:26 PM

Uhh.. Great question.. Umm.. at least 25 at any one time..

Up to about 40 if I try I spose. Not quite as many as the next Beetle, or the last one for that matter, but still, not bad for a Type 3..

Resto64 - July 19th, 2004 at 07:31 PM

nellie looks great jim , another great job!!!
loved the beetle , want the notchie!!! :)

Unity-28 - July 19th, 2004 at 07:59 PM

next beetle? hmmmm what you congaring up JIM!!!!!????? Man that thing always looks good, but you gotta put the rack back on (you cant have NEllie the hottie without a nice rack!;))

N!

BenettonVW - July 19th, 2004 at 08:03 PM

I'll get another Beetle in a few years, when teh bus is done, then I'll sell Nellie, and start again.

Bus first.

Rack? Thats the current dilemna.. With.. Without..

Unity-28 - July 19th, 2004 at 08:11 PM

WITH! HMM KINDA MAKES ME WANNA TALK TO YOU ABOUT BRINGING IN A COUPLE A SPLIT RAGS!!!!!???? WHEN YOUR READY!:o

N!

BenettonVW - July 20th, 2004 at 10:26 AM

Dunno about that man. Was thinking about a 58/59.. Rag? Yeah maybe.. Never thought about it. But I am talking pretty long term. The bus will take 5 years or more I would guess..

Anyway, the HN is back on the road, so I am cruising in a VW again..

XXX-1.8T - July 20th, 2004 at 10:37 AM

lookin tops Jim but what happened to the eyelids

BenettonVW - July 20th, 2004 at 11:25 AM

Swapped em for these rod things.. Never a huge fan of eyelids on Type 3s.. It's just me. :duh

jenz58 - July 20th, 2004 at 01:37 PM

Congratulations Jim!!

Nellie just always looks so sweet!!! :kiss

Eyelids are a personal thing, and too be honest I didn't notice...too busy looking at all the other stuff...Those mirrors are nice :)

BenettonVW - July 20th, 2004 at 09:34 PM

Uhh.. Those 'mirrors' are whats known as 'dummy spots', or dummy spotlights, meaning they don't actually work. Thats what they do.. Exactly what tehy are doing now.. :)

type3kid - July 20th, 2004 at 09:42 PM

dude that is the nicest notch i think i have EVER seen. i know whati am using a few rolls on at valla!

jenz58 - July 20th, 2004 at 11:23 PM

Oh :blush

OK so are they facing down Jim...I thought they were some rare sort of nifty mirror :D
