What do you mean 'rewire'? If you're talking about having an electrician custom-make and install a complete new wiring loom for you then it will probably cost thousands.

im thinking somewhere around the 10-15 hours maybe more depending on problems but at about 90 bucks an hour roughly its going to be about a 1-1.5 grand.

Yes
to rewire a Car is VERY EXPENSIVE.....
to use the same colored wires is ULTRA EXPENSIVE..
You can buy them in the USA but they are NOT RH Drive..
so don't fit..
would have to be modified...
about $450-$500 with freight..
then need to be modified....extended...

I am still making my own complete wiring harness from scratch. I think I have bought about 25m of single wiring and also a 6m of heavy duty 7 core trailer wiring. I have done more since this photo, but you get the basic idea. I have made the wiring longer and going to try and have most of it hidden. Also using mainly black wiring so as to make it a little (and I mean a little) harder for the thieves. Will also be adding a 3 point immobilizer alarm.

I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!
