OK you have 87 power doors and 85 manual doors. To use the 87 door shells with the 85 crank and door panels, you will have to remove the power regulator (drill out the rivets) and swap in the manual regulator. They should mount in the newer door just fine. You can use rivets or short bolts and nuts. Then just mock up the manual door panel and mark the mounting holes if they are in different locations, and drill new ones. It can be done. I had a friend that put 92 door panels and power windows on his 86 GT
