Rear heat?

Yup. Rear heater hard lines.

That's what I thought I was wasn't 100%. Maybe time to get rid of that before it bites me. Thank you guys.
Looks like it might have just gotten pinched a bit. If it doesn't look too bad, I would just clean up the rust and touch it up. Pics showing practically zero rust are depressing.
I agree. Not big deal if you have planned to baseline your cooling system soon (including the removal/deleting of the rear heater as replacing these lines is real big-time PITA). Not to be dramatic or alarmist, but if I were in your shoes I will take care of this ASAP. If that damaged line burst or open a crack, you may loose all your coolant....at the worst possible time....as per Murphy's low
Cheers!
Doesn't look bad, reach up and touch it with some high heat paint; they rust from the outside in when the original paint fails (due to the heat in that area, IMO).
Not difficult to remove the cat heat shields from below while laying on your back to fully inspect that section of rear heater pipes.

I would use the money from whoring out your exhaust bushing and replace the lines with hoses.

K...
A play on your spelling from post #1....................I thought your bushing was whore out.
I spell it "wore" or "worn"......
If one were to keep the rear heater how difficult is replacing the rear heater element/core? does it involve dropping the transmission for a proper install? is there any kind of access from removing the center console?
The heater core is under your passenger seat. Pull the seat and all will be revealed.
the rear heater core not the main heater core right?
