The 84 Wolfsburg hardtop is the original weekender, IMHO. It has a bench
that makes into a true bed, has massive storage under it, came with
screened sliding windows, rear hatch jail bars, curtains...

Also had PS and tach. All the ones I have seen were a blue exterior,
blue cord fabric, some had the big sunroof. I'm told there was a brown
too and I have seen dark brown cord seats so maybe so.

The hinge strap is the flat metal extension that goes back from the
hinge to the engine deck, held down to the deck by a screw.
