Thinking of going to manuel windows and locks. Do I need different doors or can I just swap the internal parts? And is there any way to make the hatch manuel close instead of it being pulled shut electricaly? Thanks

The doors are the same you'll just need to swap over all of the necessary hardware. I know this from experience, as the replacement doors for my car were manual and I just swapped in all of my power stuff. There is even a rubber plug for the wire harness cutout in the front of the door. As far as the hatch goes, I think the manual latch has a different bracket welded to the body, but I am not 100% sure about that. If your doing this all for weight issues, you'll only be saving about 5-10 pounds, as the manual regulator weighs alsmost as much as power unit. Hope this helps!
Well, I already deleted the a/c, heater, radio, wipers, power steering, rear seats. The car is apart and ready for the rotisserie now. I just figured less wiring when I put it back together.

Yeah, I guess it wouldn't make much sense to have power windows and locks and nothing else!
