Good eye, Tuck! (wonderpets reference) Yes, I have since cut off the split end and reattached, zip-tying it for good measure. This one definitely needs the classic stage 0 treatment - replace all vacuum lines, etc. We took the car into the shop today and dropped it off for the "used car inspection on steroids" to get a list of needs - then I'll prioritize them and decide which ones I can do myself.

Thanks. I have to confess though, it's more flawed then these pics reveal. The seat bottoms on the front have been re-done with vinyl. Makes them look pretty good. Rear seat is the original leather, not shredded but needs a lot of leather conditioning treatment, or eventual replacement. I suspect it might have been an old lady car, but not sure. Timing belt was replaced at 97k, but the sticker says that was in 2004! So it wasn't driven a whole lot.

some progress this weekend
Got a lot of parts in for the stage 0 on Thursday from eeuroparts.com and rockauto.com. Still waiting on a few more on backorder plus some stuff from IPD. This weekend all I did was replace the vacuum hoses and the low beam headlights, plus treat all the rusty screws I could find with rust converter.
