So I tore it apart today, wires were all burned to a crisp from the alternator to the starter. Bought some new wires and looms, took everything apart and rebuilt the remains of the wiring harness this afternoon.

Car runs well, only issue is the oil pressure guage is pegged at 5 bar, even when I switch the wires on the sending unit, and the alternator belts squeak a bit, so tomorrow I'll get back in there and take care of that.

I think I'll be happy as long as there is no more fires.
