I'm doing some research on converting my 51 to power windows and those kits are crazy expensive. I enjoy customizations and such, so I figured that I would ask:

Has anyone here converted the old manual windows into power windows by adding a motor to the original regulator while utilizing the stock look power window switch? Is it even possible?

See attached images for the look of the manual regulator and the stock power switch. The photo with the motor on it is what I'm thinking of the final project, but with using the stock looking switch.

If none of that is possible without too much work and time or dinero, can anyone recommend the best kit to go with that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

Thanks!
