Thanks for all the replies and info.
I don't have any issues at the moment. And I would prefer not to have any issues in the next 20 years. I'm 59, I have been fighting cancer for 6 years, had 7 major surgeries, lost so much weight I was anorexic, 6' 115lbs...I've gained 20 lbs. this year, yeah me!!! and still on too many medications to think straight at most times. At some point I won't be able to fix anything. My abilities are definitely not what they used to be and I have to pay others to do some things I no longer can. That's OK, it's life.
Sorry if this makes little sense, chemo brain has kicked in.
Thanks again,
Taz
Sorry to hear about the health problems. I wouldn’t worry about the wiring. There might be a few places that need attention in time due to heat, like the fuel pump or trans harnesses or maybe a couple plugs in the engine bay but wiring doesn’t wear out like mechanical parts. 98% of it will last forever and the small amount that gets crispy can be spliced in easy enough with some soldering and heat shrink or if you’re not worried about looks there’s heat shrink crimp connectors now that you just crimp the wires like normal and then hit them with a heat gun and they seal up water tight.

Thank you but that's life. Can't change it.
Thanks for the info. I have never heard of crimp and shrink wrap connectors. Personally I prefer solder and shrink wrap myself.
I would think all the wiring in the engine bay would eventually have issues. The body and interior not so much.
