Subject:re-wiring harness

Has anyone replaced faulty wires in their wiring harness? I found that the
end-to-end resistance of one of the fual injector wires was 18 ohms. Of
course it should be darn close to zero. I'm tempted to go to radio shack and
buy a spool of the right gauge wire and replace some (all?) of the wires in
the harness.  Would this be asking for trouble? It seems to me that wire is
wire is wire.  If I solder all the connections, I would think it should wind
up good as new.  There are some damaged areas of the harness where is melted
too..
