    Fitting electric windows

    Been offered 4 doors off a 92 model and am considering them to fit to my 87.
    Attraction to them is they have much nicer newer looking door cards and come with electric windows.....what's involved in wiring them up?
    Is it just a case of giving the motors and switches a live and an earth or do I need an ecu and an original loom?
    Not going to bother if its a big effort to fit them but thought I'd ask as I've fitted electric windows to a car before that was just a case of giving a live and an earth to each one.
    Thanks in advance guys

    IIRC the 92 doors will not fit your 87. In 1989 the changed the hinges to conceal them, so it may be a bigger effort than you think. The option is just to change the internals and door card although I am not sure this can be done either .

    I woud also like to know if the internals and trim will change over. I have a '88 parts car with lecky windows and would like to swap these into my '86 with manual jobbies.

    If you go offroading on a hot day, with wind-up windows you are never worrying that the electric windows will fail on you, at a critical moment.

    Doesn't the '87 have electric windows? My '86 did.

    I saw an older RR that had electric windows from a D1 fitted - but I can't recall what year the RR was.
