Tommy, my car had a vinyl roof. The a pillars are rotted through in a few small spots.

The donor roof might be your best option depending on the extent of damage to the A-pillars. Be forewarned that a roof transplant is a large effort compared to just a skin. You will need to weld in braces at the door mount upper area just under the steel dash from side to side. You will also need to do this at the rear near the package tray. Cross brace these two before cutting the structure loose to prevent the side to side braces from altering the width when you cut it loose.
