I've been having problems with underexposure so i opened the bottom cover to check the battery contacts. They looked pretty corroded, so i desoldered the wires which became pretty brittle so i snipped off a bit of the wire to expose more wire, but all of it was brittle so it became too short, now im having problems because its not long enough. Should i replace the wires completely or just solder on more wire onto the existing one?

It does not make a difference, electrically. Replacing the (complete) wiring is often easier said than done, with the Konica C35 especially reassembly is not easy.
In certain cases, however, the bad condition of especially the black wires in a C35 leaves you no other chance than replacing all the wires, as soldering a length of new wire to the old one is simply not possible.
