Missing front and rear bolts are no problem. The B-pillar brackets are
available new, but expensive. Chromed plastic trim for rubber seals is
unavailable.

Very good hardtops may go for $200-$400, depending on the colour. This one
needs lots of work, parts and a respray. I say $50 to $100 max.

Good luck,
