Nicely done!

I couldn't get it to view properly in Firefox browser, but Internet Explorer worked great.

BTW, referencing the #10 pic, last pic on first page, labeled window guide/slide: the upper guide/slide in the pic was simply worn away on my regulator. I believe that the slack created after the part broke caused my cables to bind then break. I replaced the upper slide with a pulley from a manual crank RX7 window regulator. It worked great. If I ever take the door panel off again, I will send you a pic of it.

It's easy to load the cable:
With one hand you hold the gearbox.
With your second hand you rotate the spool to take in the cable.
With your third hand you control & feed the cable.
With your fourth hand you take a picture..

its to bad someone couldn't combine the info here and rebuilding the window motors n cleaning the track n stuff like that and put it all in one forum and would be super handly and could be under the 2 gen FAQ.. but iono how u folks work. so ima just keep look and hope that someone will come up with something thats more simpified.
