I can tell you this.. it's a LOT of work to add on power windows, etc. If you have the time, patience, and MONEY yes it can be done, but personally I wouldn't go through that effort.
You're going to have to install door lock actuator brackets and linkages... windows regulators and motors.. window and door lock switches.. plus getting the trim pieces for the door for them to fit properly.. and then THE WIRING.
If you're lucky, you might already have the wiring in place from the factory, but I don't think that's going to be the case on a '93. You're going to have to run wires through the doors (maybe even have to remove the doors).. through the dashboard, let alone the tapping into the fuse boxes and installing the modules and everything.. trust me it's a real PITA!
But if you choose to attempt this, I wish you the best of luck!

I bought the electriclife power window kits from them. You have to buy the regulator kit and also the switch kit. I think i paid about $250 and put it in myself. It's a big job and took about 6 hours to complete. I got the bmw style switch kit with 2 switches on the drivers door and one on the passenger, and took a dremel and "VERY" carefully cut the door panel where the crank hole is to a square that fit the bezels for the after market switches. It's a tough job and need to have moderate skills to pull it off and have to look and work factory. The regulators are an exact copy of the factory ones and will actually interchange. Electriclife is that company that all the hot rod places like Boyd Coddington use.
