So I was parting this car out. It was running and driving. Someone was interested in thw quarter panel. I cut it off without getting a deposit. They them ghosted me. My mistake for not getting a deposit. With the price of gas I was going to use this drive terrain. Right now the car isn’t near my shop. I want to get it running and moving again so I can drive it to the shop for dismantling. It seems when I cut the quarter I cut these two lines. I am having a hard time figuring out what they go to. The seem to have went through the frame or toque box originally. If someone could tell me what these do I would appreciate it. Pics would be great as well
The car is a 87 convertible 2.3
These lines are near the rear passenger torque box

I 'think' I recall my evap line switching to steel at one point.

I'm pretty sure you cut the evap and brake line...

If it isn't a long trip, a tow would be much safer than trying to rig the brake line to drive it in its current condition...
 
Pinch the brake line closed, then fold it over and clamp it with a vice grip. Should work well enough for yard driving the car

I know a guy who used to commute to work in a car where he had done this exact thing
