I want to do this in the spring except I think I am just going to look into buying 4 doors with all the motors and relays already factory installed and just wire them up, keep us posted on this!
I bought other doors cause my driver door is damage beyond repair and here in PR this is a rare find. I got mine from a lady whose car got totaled and she practically gave them for free ($150 for both doors with everything, panels, motors switches, etc.
gay grape color tho) but the problem is that the panels are grey and my interior is black. Knowing how are things around here I think my best chance is to paint them black cause frankly I don't think I'm gonna be able to find black ones. Some of you might say to go to a junkyard but jukyards here are way to expensive plus the parts are in the worst conditions you can get them. And ebay is good but the shipping is way to much.
About the interiors I once talk to a guy who does this for show cars and stuff and he offer me to do it for free
but its been a long time since we talk and i haven't been able to find him.
I think I'm doing this before spring I'll let you know how it goes. The key is on the prep work as with any paint job, just make sure you clean the surface with degreaser and wax and grease remover and use lots of adhesion promoter. I think I remmember seen a "how-to" somewhere, if I find it I can post it if you guys want. Our own DIY will be better tho.
