    um - quite a lot. Maybe can score from a wrecker etc.
    Motors, manin and door switches, door trims and looms. But also the BCM to drive it. Might be easier to get BCM ex Acclaim, Berlina etc.

    I agree, I once looked into it for a friend. IMO its not worth doing unless your keeping the car for many many years to come. I'm no car expert and I wouldnt be trying it myself.

    It wouldnt be that hard (more of a stuffaround) if you have all the gear.

    As mentioned above. You will need...

    BCM
    Front & Rear Door Cards
    Rear door switches
    Front console switches
    Door wiring looms
    Console wiring loom
    Window Regulators
    Window Motors

    Hardest part would be running the new looms through to the doors.
    You can either rivet or bolt the new regulators in. After you drill the old rivets out.

    If you get a new BCM you will need to get the key heads that go with it or get yours coded to the new BCM and i think you will have to enter the radio code.
    But you can bypass the BCM on the VS and VT so i would say that you can do it on the VY but you will loose the auto down

    Changing the door loom is the easy part, check if you have the wiring behind the shifter for the power window switch and in the relays positions, look for terminals in all the slots where the relay pins go do the same for the fuse, if there is silver ternimals in all positions then the wiring should be in the car you will have to remove and door trims and chech the doors for the wiring but i would be suprised if the wiring is not there.
