Tim, will post pics this week- as far as your roll cage , I don't think it is "factory' (ie a VWoA approved and supplied accessory), but it could be a vintage aftermarket unit from Con-Ferr. It does look like someone added front section later, to a mass-produced four point roll-bar. The NVWTA website has photos and descriptions of the original dealer roll bars, for comparison. As far as the front push-bar, i have no idea... sure does look slick though!

Makes sense,its been on the car at least 20 years as it was on it when the last guy bought it.Also has a bar that runs horizontal from the front bars to the middle bars ,but not on the rear bars ,about the level of the bottom of the doors and connecting points for long travel shocks in the rear. Thanks Brian. Look forward to seeing the pictures.
