Forgot to mention $14.33 not $200, $400, or $1000 to make a better Wiring Harness 200 1981

$14.33 in connectors and solder, maybe a few more for fuel, but I am confident I have a superior Wiring Harness than factory original or the best after market. I meant to take photographs, every step of the way, but my camera's battery was flat and I didn't want to be bothered slowing myself down to document it.

I have enough OEM wire to make a second harness, but, I think mine will out last the car. I was tempted to take it to the Volvo dealershit to show them, as I was quoted $1,000. What could be worth $1,000, even if the Volvo technician making it gets paid $50/Hour, which is unlikely?

I was quoted $52 for Valve Stem Seals by the dealershit and was quoted $10.00 by an independent shop.

I cannot stand to be ripped off, cheated or lied to. That motivates me to do the work myself. If I have the tools and materials, I know I can do it better.

The folks whom quote $200 to $400 to buy a Wiring Harness and that they wouldn't attempt it . . . I say, "Challenge yourself."

- Nobody offers a Wiring Harness for a B21A Engine, thus I made my own. [200][1981]

  - AlexZ I have been paid as much as $15,000/Month, but I would still do a job myself. [200][1981]
