A new bumper mount (the right side one was demolished) and new fender weld nuts are on there way from Wolfsburg West. A few more hours of tar board scrapping and the car is ready for floorpans. Next few months we might see some actual progress happen!

Does anybody know what the line running from the pedal assembly along the transmission tunnel to the rear of the car is for? I'm assuming it has something to do with the accelerator or the clutch. The cable broke into 3 pieces today (it was very rusty near the front) so now I have another thing to replace.
