    FINALLY got my drivers power window working! As per advice of a fellow JC member I ran a new wire from the switch to the motor.

    Also fixed a few other little things, but couldnt do the fuel tank gasket today. Hope to do that tomorrow after work.

    Bloody stoked I can actually use my drivers window now!
