fuel hard line alternatives
So it looks like at some point the previous owner ran over something and it smashed into the fuel hardlines that run underneath the car. they dont leak and look like they have been that way for awhile. But I dont like it.
aside from sourcing of a parts car. What alternatives are there? and what size are those lines anyways

Going with SS lines is a whole can of worms and will be quite expensive. I'd try and track down a used set of them, they should be free or cheap.
Crimped lines can cause fuel pressure issues and is worth getting fixed properly.

Line is 8mm, you should be able to substitute 5/16, if you want to make your own........plastic dividers up and down the length of the car the major pita.
If just a short length is damaged, compression fittings should suffice - which I assume are available over there too - basically cut out the damage, install nuts and olives over the ends, put in the fitting and tighten - voila!

Cunifer hard lines (brake, fuel, hydraulic) in bulk, will not corrode and are super-moldable.
The top European car manufactueres use them now.

BTW: I remade some brake and clutch hard-llines and they were SO EASY to form, and flare.

I've considered patching the section but feels like a bandaid. I need to get a picture. It's just under the drivers door. So I thought about running all new lines or clipping them all there and running new from there.
