power windows, uk/philipinne style!

[Kofkof_00]

I've seen pics of these. Door cards with the switches, etc etc. Has anyone succesfully grafted one of these onto a festy?

I know simon had gone the after market route with pimptiva ver 3.0, but I'm curious to know if the wiring is present in our cars?

I think the armrests/pannes bolt up but the wiring is not there!

[Kofkof_00]

Hmmm That's too bad.

So far, I've rather enjoyed the fact that the wiring was allready present for the power windows, the trunk light, etc, etc.

(does it show that I dislike doing electrical work?)

I atchuley pulled the power regulators out of a 626 and wired my car all up for power windows, but then those regulators didnt work so the wiring is still in my car ready to go for when i find some 323 regulators.

Its atchuley pretty basic. Im just using a 3 way momentary toggle switch to reverse the motors

The aftermarket stuff wasn't too bad! Cost $90 for the kit and 2~ hours to install. It didn't look factory, but it was nice. I'm debating about them this time... I liked being able to put them down with power, but it's some extra weight too... :\

Was it the wierd winder kit that fits over where the winder arm would normally be?

The after maket kit I saw, looked like a bowl that fit over the door card. The up & down power button were on it. (no window nazi with the passenger window) Eventually the door card tore because of the lateral torque.

Mind you this getup was in a mini austin & a number of years ago...

No, the kind simon is talking about goes inside the door and uses a chain/belt to turn the crank

i would like to make mine electric how hard was it to wire them up
