Wiring power doors.
So I'm thinking of buying a pair of doors off of a parts car a guy has because mine are pretty beat up, I'm missing a mirror, and my drivers window regulator is shot. My car currently has manual windows and locks. I have looked around on here and am curious as to how much is involved in wiring them up? I saw on another post someone said that the wiring is already in the console for the switches, is this true? What all should I get out of the parts car that I am going to need to get this all done?

Re: Wiring power doors.
Here's something I posted a while back that might help. From what I recall, the switch wiring was a part of the harness and not normally in a manual car.

I'm kind of late to this thread but have some info anyways. There's a harness conduit that runs along the front just under the dash pad. I actually used the original conduit along the front but it kept the wiring organized while I did the swap. It's not difficult to remove if you bring a door puller tool to the junk yard. Take everything including the power block all the way to the connectors in the doors, and middle console. Even the rubber conduits in between the doors. It should only take a half hour or so to pull the wiring from the donor car. The wiring in mine is installed, I've been too lazy to swap the motors out on mine though.
Do the wiring first so you're not stuck with inoperable windows. (The pics are from something else but show what's needed.)
