simple and easy

I have found that the electric windows from an 86 or 87 Isuzu Impulse work really simple for a GT conversion. The Impulse has a cable spool combo just like the GT, using the Impulse electric motor and cable/spool along with the nylon guides, simply remove the the GT crank/spool/cable and upper an lower guide pulleys, install the Impulse nylon fixed guides at the pulley location on the GT [top (Impulse) guide at bottom on the GT guide location) and bottom (Impulse) guide at top GT guide location], drill a hole to fix the guides into position as they where on the Impulse originally but inverted for the GT as indicated above.
I told Bob Tidwell I would get him some pictures of the swap this week end and show the install procedure, it is very simple and works perfect I will try to post this weekend time pending an article on the Impulse electric window.

Windows

I just picked up another set the other week but have been chasing Opels from OKC to San Antonio for the past 4 weekends in a row and have not had a chance to do any thing but fill my shop and back yard up with Opels. If you don't mind seeing pics taken on a cluttered work bench or pathway of the shop I will attempt to do it this weekend.
