Coming along well Binner. Where did the power window kits come from? My searching for kits hasn't shown me anything that looks like those. They are an easy fit by the looks.

binner - February 11th, 2016 at 09:41 PM

Thanks fella, not sure where I got the winders, I'll look into it for you, I bought them a while ago now but think it was an eBay store. Pretty easy to install just a bit of cutting to do......
