You people are such a trip!! You choose (as I) to drive a very strange vehicle, which I applaud. I intend to be buried in it, but I can barely keep the drive train functioning, and I work on the vehicle almost every day. The thought of trying to keep power door locks, power windows and air conditioning functional is overwhelming---I would have to have the work farmed out for sure. My wife is already so pissed at me over my priorities that power door lock maintenance would push me over the edge. I took out my air conditioning (for which I was criticized) and I drive an 85 westy, which doesn't have power locks and windows. I just don't have the physical strength to keep all those luxuries going. If you do, go for it, but I myself would trash a few of those items that seem to be high maintenance, and put that time into the engine, transaxle, CV joints, wheel bearings, brakes and fuel injection system. You can always cripple home with your power windows jammed; you can't get home with an engine that won't start. Don
