For the fuel line just buy a roll of tubing and run it in place of the rusted out stock metal line. I know napa has repair tubing for the tubing that connects to the fuel pump nylon(or whatever it is) line then adapt it to the steel tubing with compression fittings or Fuel injection rubber hose and clamps.
Something like this but without the smaller end on the other end

no OEM replacement parts will be used on the car unless 100% nesicary, i intend to spend my money wisely, but upgrade it a little bit.

Dont bother with them rotors. That place obviously doesnt know what theyre talking about if they say the same rotors that fit a Mark VII will fit an VIII as well.

If you get new rotors make sure they are ABS capable with the ABS ring on the back if you want to keep that functionality, which I would highly recommend.

Replacing it with new tubing would be the right way to do it as far as i am concerned the only problem with new tubing is making the ridge on the end for the stock line to clip onto. That is why you get that short piece like above. They do sell a piece that is like 3 feet long with that end they might have longer too, its been awhile since i was looking. You could buy new nylon tubing and run it from front to back too.

i was curious as to that also. I need to find out if my friggen abs works, the rotors are so fed up, im hoping thats why its not going on right now. The brakes are not right on the car, theres "supose" to be a leak in a line, i need to add fluid cause i can't find anything, but the pedal goes right to the floor before it brakes so i don't know.....
first comes motor running right, which once i get oil and fuel lines, is done.
next is brakes.
Thank GOD i have till october.

im done with helping with you guys out. you want our advice and do whatever you "think" is right anyways. you're 15yrs old and think you know the right way to do things, but yet need opinions/advice on how to do it.

im 16, and im taking your advice and doing the whole line, im not fudgeing it, i said the way i want, as meaning im gonna upgrade the brakes and stuff. Trust me, i would have never known that the lines were done that way, and now i know and am looking for the whole section to replace. I value the opinions and facts i learn from you guys.
