I installed fully electric windows in my ED out of a NL fairlane ... Not a pretty job ... lots of wiring to be done, swearing, and cuting your hands on the insides of the doors.

Ended up making my own aftermarket switches for it , took a good few days .. removing the old window reguslators is fun too! ..

you could follow the instrustions in the document,

http://www.fordmods.com/phpBB2/documents.php?doc=21

it took me approx 2.5 days to install the power windows from an EF futura to an EF Gli. I had to rip out all the panels and seats so that i could feed the wires from underneath the carpet. I also had to feed a large "+" wire from the battery throught the firewall to power the electric motors.

There is a bit of mucking around but the article explains things really well, but its not that difficault. Just follow the instructions.

Cheers

i'm specifically after the regulators... are they the same all the way through? i have the front electrics (as i have a futura) and was going to sort out myself in regards to the switches etc in the rear... but my drivers reg has just crapped itself, so i need a new one asap! :P
