Fuel and brake lines [desperate]

["Blake P. Pelzer" <bppelzer@midway.uchicago.edu>]

Okay, a month ago I bought my first car, an 87 16v with 60000 miles. I was
told that the passenger side e-brake cable was bad, so I took it in and
was informed that he didn't want to touch the ebrake unless I wanted all
the brake lines replaced as both they and the fuel lines were too fragile
with rust to be played with. As this was some crazy old mercedes shop,
this would be too expensive a procedure for me right now. So here are my
questions.

1. How soon does this need to be done? There are no leaks at present.

2. Obviously the cost here is in the labor, so its clearly time consuming,
but is it possible for a totally ignorant person to even think of
attempting it?

3. Does anyone know someone who could do this for me at a labor cost of
less than 65 an hour within a 4 hour radius of Chicago?

Thanks a lot
Blake
