I drove this van up to Burlington VT for the weekend mainly to attend the Wolfsgart show. We had a great drive up and back. The show was a blast, there were hundreds of interesting Euro cars there, not just VWs. I will be making a point to set that weekend aside every year.
Stopping for lunch along the way...
We stayed at a hotel rather than camping on this trip, this was the hotel parking lot....
Mmmmmm!
I love the way my van looks with the rust and faded brown paint but I also think it would look great to duplicate this van...

Looks like lots of fun.
Did you ever get the ABS and EDL sorted?

Nope- I do have the ABS controller mounted in the van and all the brake lines are running through it but I never got around to wiring up the wheel speed sensors. To be honest, I never found the need for it. |

Followers of this awesome thread have asked Andrew at various times about his replacing the Passat pedal with the Jetta one that pivots from the floor for a better feel. I am guessing that at this point others have followed Andrew's lead.
If any have done so I'd love to see a pic of your mounting bracket and alterations to the pedal body. So far, I have removed the plastic portion that extends underneath the hinged part of the pedal so it sits mostly flat on the floor. Not sure if I also need to remove the plastic at the other end with the embedded metal washer near where the cable plugs in? Andrew remembers placing it as close to the firewall as possible but does not have photos of the bracket he used.
