My original thinking was, no problem, cut out the rot, splice in the new sections, and done.

To that thinking I must now add, make the cuts in the lines perfectly square, file off all the hardening, make repeated attempts at functional bubble flares, and try to make accurate, kink-free bends with awkward, giant bending pliers. Finally, deal with feelings of wishing I had saved up for someone else to do this job.

When working on anything older I expect to find the unexpected. Adding to the list of unexpected is my leaking fuel expansion tank ($120 from the dealer - will be here tomorrow). I hope to have everything wrapped up on Wednesday so I can start doing the oil cooler lines. I miss driving my car.
