Jeez leweez! I thought my lines were kinked the frak up!? They look like they can be salvaged, you just need a really good diagram of where everything goes so you can move them back into place. I say look for good pics and check the FSM. I'll see what I have in my pic folders to post up.

Your car had abs at one point. Your either going to need to get all the parts your missing for the ABS system or start making some brake lines yourself.

Get some non-abs lines at the junkyard and redo your car. Half of those lines go into the missing abs unit.

go to the junkyard and gt the rear brake line splitter and run your fronts into it and then run the rear feed line straight to the lower line. if you search for i think abs removal it will show a picture of it. i did it to mine works fine. take your time rebending the lines to match.

i think i have the abs unit, its a little bigger than a ps pump.

i think i will buy some lines at the auto store, and just reline the car..

its so confusing that it makes me a little mad :\

can anyone help with some pictures that show what lines go where from the master cylinder.

this car is literally so much work that i dont know about. i rather ask before i make a mistake and when i drive it ill have more problems

theres only two lines coming from the bmc. if you look closely it says i think "F" on the front one and of course the other one is rear. or the other way around. then just follow them to the other end.
