Has anyone here replaced their brake lines?

Just did mine - brake line was baked finished and massive leaks right under driver doors. The long work is to remove all the plastics. Line parts is something like $10 plus new liquid $25 but it is more the time required for the plastics like 3 hours of labours... Kind of surprise to see that line rotten on a 130kil car...

Update with pics. Turns out the rust was just under the first bracket. Hard to take pictures of the entire line, but you can see in the last pic the rest of the line has no rust on it. This makes me think it's more of a design issue with the panel in that section by the driver door.

Anyway, I took down the panel myself, and I paid a trusted indy shop to splice in a section of line to replace the rusted part. I considered doing it myself, but I've never done a bubble flare and my wife drives this car a lot with my daughter. Did not want to take a chance on that.

Edit - How do I make the pics smaller?
