Question about doors

I have a GSL-SE that has rotted doors so a friend that runs Spec 7 had some extra doors and gave me a pair that I am going to install this weekend but I have 2 questions. Are all doors the same? And here is the second one and it may be a bit more complicated. The car has power windows, the new doors are manual. Can the regulatrs just be swaped from one to the other or is there big work involved?

No worries, they will all fit. The only thing is the 79-80 doors have a different style than the 81-85. They'll still bolt on, but the body lines won't match. Not a big deal, but a deal. About the windows, also no worries. Those swap over directly. It's kind of a bitch to get them in and out of the door itself, but entirely possible with time and patience. Good luck.

BTW, nice name

all of the doors will fit from any one of the SA/FB models, the only thing that changed over the years were the interior panels, and the trim piece that went n the outside, the outer skin/shape is identical for all models of the SA/FB
