Finished Power Window Conversion (Pics)

Well, I finally finished my power window conversion earlier today. I got the switches and the door-to-dash wiring out of an '85 SE at the junkyard, and I did a custom job from the switch harness to the wiring loom under the driver's seat. To cover up the holes, I used Optimus (Radio Shack) 3/4" piezo tweeters (see pics). I was surprised, because everybody here has claimed that the stock power windows on a 1st gen are inherantly slow, which I didn't find to be the case (of course, I carefully cleaned and oiled all of the working components before installing the regulators, so that might have something to do with it...). Anyway, I just thought I'd share my finished product pics with you all. If anybody has any questions, PM me, or email me at kc0abh@hotmail.com
