Broken fuel line on an '84



The fuel line on my '84 sprung a leak...prolly rusted through, right before
the bend it makes and heads north into the engine bay.

I tried to repair it, with some fuel injector line.  I didn't know I was
only supposed to cut through it at the break and slip a piece of FI line
over that.  Instead, I removed a large section and tried to patch in the FI
line.  It hasn't worked.  It sprays fuel everywhere.


So, here's where I am.  I obviously can't fix this myself.  So, one of two
things:

1) Someone hand me $500 cash and take the car away.  ~90,000 miles, brand
new clutch, Aiwa MP3 head unit, H&R lowering springs from a 16V with Boge
Turbogas struts, new front brakes (AtE Atom rotors)....  It is NOT
driveable, you'll have to haul it.

Or

2) I'll give anyone who can come here and permanently and reliably fix the
f**king thing $250.

I am not in a position where I can strip the car and save parts.  If I don't
get any takers, soon, it's gone.  I'm PISSED at this thing right now.
