quickly, (good to see the older pictures back up) are you sure the window motors are the problem? could be the switch or harness. alternately head over to the wreckers and grab a window motor from any vh / k / l that you can find. they are starting to get hard to find now but not a year ago there was atleast 1 calais in the centre rd wreckers at any 1 time. sometimes more and sl/es aswell as vk cal's. also i have a set of extractors sitting in my yard that owe me $70. you can have em for what they owe me pickup knox. they go great and are well worth the effort. anyway looking good and its great to see you are sticking to the original plans. that droptank might be a bit expensive to fill up though!
