Converting Power windows To Manual
Ok I hate wiring Because I dont know the correct way to solve electrical problems, With that said I am good at putting things together so my power window wiring took a crap and I need my windows to work I just need some advice if anyone has done this pm me one day. Should i fix the wiring or convert them?

Fix the windows. Take an online course or something to learn the principals of electricity and basic electronics. Once you know what electricity is, and how it works, troubleshooting becomes much easier. While the windows can be converted, what are you going to do if your tail lights don't come on one night?

I'd like manual just for the simplicity, and new doors would be hard to match the paint. Could you get manual doors and pull the insides out to match up with the metal?
Then I'd have some empty door shells...hmmm...half doors?

I'd still like to get rid of the power windows just cause they fail often I am pretty sure that the swap isnt that hard, well according to the guys out at Goshen auto. but on the other hand the power windows add style points.

my friend used his same doors and windows, all he did was get the manual window mechanism, and put it in. i dont know if you still want your stock door panels, but he just made some diamond plate ones, and thats it, done.
