I wanted to see how difficult it would be to add power door lock and or power windows to a 78 that currently has neither. If so what kind of parts might I be looking for? I am capable of doing the wireing myself but would like a bit of direction since I lack expertise in this situation. I am a new owner and do not have a lot of experience. Any help would be appreciated. williammoore22008-06-20 18:32:20

It basicly amounts to changine hardware, and running the wires.  You will require the physical mechanical parts for the locks and window regulators.  Then there are the switches, which while a pain, can be installed.  You will need to cut holes for these.   Then run the wires and you are good to go.   It's a fair amount of work, but very doable.

I would like the features of power windows and locks. I intend to keep the car for a long time. So I am looking for projects that I can do over the winter months. Since there are many of those months up here. Thanks for the info. williammoore22008-06-21 17:22:55
