One of those handy probe cameras, shot up the pillars, might show a weld if they put a whole other roof in it.

Sounds like these are a 50/50 gamble, and a six-month gamble at that.

yes, on some things but probably not on whether the bug started out as a ragtop or not Wink

Graft or not... Drive and enjoy.. only the "Elite" give a shit if its "original" or not..
If its such a good graft that you cant really tell.. drive the wheels off it..

The biggest issue is if you paid a premium for and original rag.. only to find out later its a faux rag..

Its still most likely gonna be registered as a Sedan either way...
