im lookin at this notch w/a tan interior which is pretty rare i guess. and it has factory power locks and manual windows. how hard would it be to get power windows. would i be better off getting two doors w/the motors and wiring all there and have to tap into the harness? how would it be done?

Just get all the stuff out of the doors from the wrecking yard. As for the wiring, it should be wired to the doors at least from the factory.

yeah your going to have holes where the cranks went.

maybe fab something out of metal to cover the holes????/
A shop could recover them but seems like alot of trouble if the panels are in good shape.

I think I would hunt for a machine shop to make up a couple plates out of billet to screw over them.
Maybe a pony etched into them or something along those lines.

I'm looking into this also for a capri I'm building except I'm going to use the capri cats head logo with capri etched into the plates.

My panels are perfect except for the crank hole.
I got a quote for 75.00 for both plates if I made the design or 135.00 if they make the design. Seems kinda high but It's still cheap compared to destroying a set of super nice panels that are original black panels from a black magic car.
Maybe this will put a idea in your head.

You might also look at a satinless plate engraved would prob cut the cost in half and could be done at any engraving place at a local mall.
