Last year I had 2 bids on my driveway pavers.

The same job, the same, or comparable materials.
Gotta love free economy.

I recently had my indy replace both rear lines on a '11 S212 from the ABS to the calipers. It is not a job for the faint of heart. Each line is a single tube the needs to be bent to fit precisely from the front to rear, crossing between the subframe and body.
My car had 15 years in NY, rust belt, prior to my purchase. The lines had visible rust and were flagged during the PPI as a weakness. The rest of the car checked out clean. I anticipated a $3000 expense for the lines; the repair came in closer to $3500. This is a 90% labor project. ,
Perhaps an sedan is easier than the wagon, but I would plan on 10-15% over the quote.
I replaced an 18 inch length of brake line on my 2011 S212 that was running under the drivers seat side when it burst due to a rust pinhole. I was able to splice in cunifer brake line (copper nickel) to the existing brake line and repair the affected section. While doing research to complete the task, I was grateful that the line was pretty much a straight run and easily accessible. If the brake line was compromised towards the rear axle of the vehicle, it would have entailed dropping the entire rear subframe to access the complete line as it snakes above the rear axle and would have been beyond my capabilities to wrench.
Yes, confirmed this morning with a dime sized puddle under left front fender, so I'll be finding out soon! currently leaking out rear bottom of wheel well liner.

Yes, it sucks, the wife's car to, so that means she'll be driving mine I'm hoping it's just a section, but until I pull the bottom panels, I'm just guessing, could need both rear line complete, 8 years of Cleveland winters.
hah, I remember my 1965 F100 6 cyl 3-on-the column pickup truck. brakes got sketchy, mechanic found leak in a tube, each section he replaced, another section blew, I told him, go ahead and replace everything, so he did. old mexican mechanic I'd heard was fond of old trucks. if I cleaned that truck out, and put some fresh gas in it and a new battery, it would probably run again!

I bet it would, funny how all my California friends have one of these or similar.

There is so much good about that picture. So nostalgic for me from living on a ranch in the San Juaquin valley. Our Ford pick up was much older thinking 40's vintage. Yours is the vintage of the Chevy 4X4 that we used to haul feed up to cattle on the ranch in the foot hills.
