<VV> Melted wiring harness in the engine bay

[Stephen Upham]

The postmortem is not complete (although I suspect my relocation of  
the electric fuel pump was the cause), suffice it to say that there  
was a short in the a wire in the wiring harness in the engine bay and  
before I could put it out, the resulting fire had melted the hiring  
harness and the wires' insulation about an inch and a half on either  
side fusing some of them together (which I now have basically  
separated).

Should I:
A) try to separate, splice in new wire and reconnect (as suggested by  
a vendor)



  Spend the $150-200 to replace the engine and/or main wiring  
harnesses (which I will eventually do anyway)


The fun never seems to end,
