Cap,
those are brakelines?? wow I thought someone botched a fuel line repair,I cant believe someone actually tried to repair brake lines like that! I'm surprised the lines didn't blow or have a severe leak.
Was there even a double flair used??

PS: the driveshaft missing comment was me trying to be funny.....fail 

i missed that.
yep...they're brake lines. she just picked it up from me repairing properly. she bought the car feb. 2011, and this is the first brake work....so they were there at least that long. and nope.....there were no flares whatsoever. i took her out there, and showed her those fittings, a double flare fitting, and explained why they were dangerous. she said i was the first mechanic that actually took the time to explain anything to her.
