Desperately Seeking SERIOUS Technical Help

It's me still in Memphis but, this time I have serious electrical problems. Remember my brake line blew out when I arrived; now I have a new master cylinder and two new front brake lines.

Now I cannot start the car, not even jump it off. Glow plugs light up but motor will not turn over.
Discovery brought some surprises... a brown wire exiting or entering voltage regulator was "split" exposing the wire from the regulator until, at least, it disappears in to a covered bundle. There is the 3 wire thing attached to the alternator ( we attached, thinking that was all we needed to do before I left home). There is also a wire (Sam, mechanic friend, says should go to battery to charge it) that's I guess hass been cut off and the ends of the wires are exposed and hanging bare. There's more I just can't remember it all.

Question: can I buy a bundle of wires that will go from the alternator to the regulator? and that battery charging wire, surely I can replace that one with appropriate guaged wire. Anyone know what guage that'd be?

Please help as I am 400 miles from home and desperately need to be home tomorrow a.m.

Please...
Thank you, Debbie
