Default Trade power window doors for manual window doors!

I'm trying to lighten my car up and I want to get rid of the Full body harness and the power windows...However I want to be able to roll my windows down. So My offer is I will trade my doors with all the power accessories including power mirrors and windows along with the harness needed to hook them up in your car. I want A set of doors that don't have power anything...also my car is silver so I would prefer a silver car to do the trade. but if not its cool.

I'm pretty sure you won't save any weight going from power to manual windows, maybe the harness bit though...

I am getting rid of my whole body harness that will save alot of weight. I just want to be able to roll my windows down still, and dont want to hook up the power windows to my lightweight harness.

You're only chances are to track down a v6 that has next to no options, or a 1LE car. Anyone who has a 1LE car is most likely not going to trade doors. Last time I saw crank windows in an f-body, it was in a 94 v6 firebird.

You know you can dump the entire harness and just run new wires to your switches for your windows, right? There's really no point to convert to manual windows.

Manual crank windows actually weigh more from everything I have heard. I actually pulled the entire harness out of my car except for the door harnesses. It is on an entirely separate harness. Was able to run a Painless racecar harness and then ran a power wire to the door harness from the cutoff switch. When the cutoff is on, the windows roll up and down and the doors still lock!

My 94 v-6 Bird has power windows and my wifes 98 Z has manual windows.
