rear brake line routing on 85 corolla fx?

well my friend has a 85 corolla fx (FWD) and the rear brakelines on his car had rusted through, so we brought it down to our highschool and have removed the lines (with it fighting us the whole way) and im wondering what we should do to put the newly bent lines in (we are making the lines ourselves)

but when we got to the rear the RR line crosses right above the gas tank, and it was a ***** to get out. and im wondering how the hell we are going to get the new one in. (im wondering about dropping the tank even a few inches (and not having to remove any hoses) or if that isnt an option we might just route the line a different way.

anyone got any info?

it blew 2 diff pins, 2nd time round i wasnt willing to do another tranny swap. it was sold off to a friend who was willing to do the swap and drive it like a turbo should be driven, HARD.
