That does look correct. The only thing I would say is, that Rothenbacher/Hans guy does sell a lot of Chinese junk, so you might poke around to try to find a better one. Some of his stuff is okay though. Hard to say on a part like that. I probably wouldn't buy a critical part from him, but I've gotten things that are just a piece of metal that's hard to screw up and they were fine. A relay is pretty simple so it's up to you.

You wouldn't happen to know how to open the hood when the cable snapped right at the lever? I can get pliers through the grill to pull open the right side, but I can't figure out how to get the left side open.

I tried a lot to get it from underneath. You can reach the cable after the left release to release the right side. My first idea was pliers on the snapped cable, but it seems to have receded into the housing a bit. I tried taking a hacksaw to the housing, but it's pretty tough.

I ordered that relay, so hopefully that will fix the fuel flow issue. Also, some girl backed into my passenger door in a parking lot and left a decent dent. Her insurance is paying to fix it, but now the top half of that door will be shinier than the rest of the car.
Main issues to fix are now:
Clutch is getting a little weak. Hasn't started slipping yet, but it will need replacement by mid-summer.
Needs gas on cold start or it will die
Parking brake
Rough idle while cold, high idle all around (high = 1100-1200 cold, 1000 warm)
There's also a hose on the engine block that has a crack in it that is slowly leaking oil. It's not a major issue, even over the course of a month, it's not a noticeable oil leak, but it's something that needs attention. The muffler also sounds like ****, but that's a low priority aesthetic fix.
