Manual to power windows!, Workthread, step by step etc Options

Hey there!

Got a ST without power windows, and yeah, its really lame at these days. Its really embarassing to manually slide the windows down, so I have always been thinking of a conversion!

So this is the time, finally. I got my hands on some really nice JDM 93/94 celica doors, with everything. Power windows, power locks, power folding mirrors etc. So I'll got everything I need now, so its basicly to just swap the old ones into these!

But I'll got a European ST, which is LHD. The doors came from a RHD JDM. So its some tweaking with wires.

Basicly I have to do this:

1. Unplug the harnesses from the JDM doors
2. Swith harnesses from side to side (left side goes to right side, and vice versa)
3. Switch panels the same way
4. Switch locks from the original car
5. Unhatch the original doors
6. Mount the new doors
7. Plug in the harness to the car

And this is without ANY problems or trouble. I dont expect it to be as easy as the list, though.

nice progress man. we need more threads like this around here.

weren't those clear plastic door foils a pain to remove? I sure hated taking mine off. Also, my tweeters make a tiny noise when I adjust the mirrors as well, and my setup is all stock. So I think you're fine there
