chop a roof of a good beetle! sacrilege! Must admit though I did a few back in the late 80's, still saying hail marries for that crime against the VW gods.....
If you are looking for one, make sure you ask how it was done. Strengthened under floor pan, metal welded into where the cuts were made. Roll bar is correctly mounted to body with gussets welded at the base to body.
In saying that I have a 72 millionth edition super bug for sale with a new motor 1641 I just reconditioned. Twin carbies, new 75amp chrome alternator, new stainless steel GT exhaust, new alloy pulley, new clutch kit, new alloy pushrod tubes.

There is one posted on adelaide.gumtree.com.au. Ad ID 284848587. It shows as located in Campbeltown NSW but as the ad is posted on Adelaide gumtree and the VW has SA plates i am assuming Campbeltown Adelaide.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Jesse.
