$60 per for 16 hours ? I don't think so.
I put in a new wiring harness in a 59 TR3A last winter. It took the better
part of two evenings (probably because I didn't know what I was doing) and
works perfectly now. I had some problems in several areas, but eventually
worked them all out.
I would say do it yourself. You will know where the weak spots are when
you fasten every connector, and will probably pay greater attention to
detail than the hired hand.
Good luck.
