Seriously Louie
Once you have paid for body work, paint, top, structural support underneath, engineers report it will soon go well past the $2k asking price you see them sell for.
I have seen many a reasonable job with papers and rego with a new top sell for like $2500

Ok so everyone tells me not to do it.
What I want is a convertible like the image I attached (attach again). Should I wait and find one like this to buy instead of doing it myself?
Thanks, appreciate all the advice it's great.

that image is of a genuine Karman Cabrio beetle.
not one that some one has chopped the roof off. they are worth quite a bit of money to find a nice one.
if you want a chop top bug then dont devalue another one, find one already done. or search for a karman cab. a chop top bug will never look anywhere near as good as the one you have posted.

Looks a lot better than any chop top that I have ever seen,and I've seen a lot.(I just hope it isn't too good to be true)
