Ok, here's my deal. I'm wanting to get a 240 together to drive on the street. Not having much luck with auto's in my area for like $500 or so that I could work on.

Currently, I have 2 240sx's. One is my designated drag car, that has most non essential wiring burnt due to previous owner. Its a 1990 hatchback with everything stock atm. It's going to be a work in progress for when i drop in V8 and everything. The other 240sx, i paid 150 for and its a 1989 5 speed, sport package hatchback, that has a blown engine and previous person took the struts off of it. Was bought to be a donor car for my drag car. Interior is mint condition, with new carpet and headliner to boot.

My end goal for a driver is an auto 89-90 with power windows. Sunroof doesn't matter to me, mainly just want the pw's. Would it be that difficult to swap the harness's from 5-speed to auto, and have the power windows? The main thing I have is, I've never swapped harness and such so not sure with the 240's if the power options like windows are added on to the stock harness or if theres an additional harness or whatnot added in to accompany the power package. So far, I have yet to find any rust on the donor car except on the hatch, and would like to reuse the shell if its not a complete dire pita to swap it to what I want. Else I'll have to keep looking, and btw I already stripped the creature comforts out of the dragster, we removed the ac, heater core, and anything else behind the dash not needed for the engine to run, so that option is kinda out.
