Tone,
I don't think Nate implied every chopped car came through ASC however I can say that every VW Golf is chopped post production and done by Kharman, incedently Kharman also did a not to good 4X4 version of the Golf.
Anyhow as I said I do not intend just to hack the top off, my approach will be properly engineered as I intend to seriously offroad my VX but as we say over here "the proof will be in the pudding"
