Default New member with 1998 V70 AWD 2.4L Turbo

Hello all. I'm rebuilding a 1998 V70 AWD 2.4L Turbo. This is the first foreign car I've ever owned or worked on, so needless to say I could use all the help I can get.

Onto the details. It caught on fire so it needs a lot of parts. The engine and transmission are still fine, and it only has 80,000 miles on it and the rest of the car is in fair condition, so I'm thinking it's worth saving right? I'm going to have to get a new wiring harness, and basically everything on the right side of the engine compartment is toast. Other then that, the engine has 3 leaks(1 on the main seal) so I'm going to have to take out the engine and fix the leaks as well. After that prey.

So right now I'm looking for the biggest piece to the puzzle, the wiring harness. Does anyone know which years and models have interchangeable wiring harnesses with this one?

Welcome to the forum. Do you have any pictures of the car you can post up. How much did you pay for it?
