How much work is it to get the newer panels to fit? I wouldnt mind my 84 getting a newer look.

Thanks,

You have to move the armrest brace to match the newer panels, but the main things are the wiring (which should come from the same vehicle as the panels) and the vent windows. Click on those pics to view the big versions and read the captions.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYUM! :-staun That's a heckuva price for 2 doors!

One door usually costs more than that. The driver's door harness runs all the way across the dash to the passenger kick panel, so don't cut it at the hinge!
