How hard is it to put stock power windows in a 90' coupe that has never had power windows without changing the doors

nah. Hanging doors and then running the bitch of a harness (located under the window, behind the dash) then getting the shit repainted and lined up right...Id rather take 4 rivets to install the regulators and then wire it up.

Doors or not, you still have to wire up a manual window car.

I have people waiting for the next month to work on their cars so it would be awhile.

If you are swapping the dash, as I said in PM, then run the harness in at the same time.

Get some steel rivets and an industrial rivet gun (harbor freight about 34.00) and to it right.
