I say do it if you have access to parts for not to much money and that are known to be good.
I would ask you. Do you WANT power locks,windows, seats?

If yes, do it. It's your car, you have to drive it.

i miss my power windows and locks. the door lock motors freeze in the winter and i can't unlock the doors with a key. i also added the 5 button keyless entry into the body of my mustang, and now it only unlocks the trunk. i have come to the conclusion i have to go to an aftermarket door lock motor. my power window doors are in my backyard, getting ready for paint. as for power seats i'd say no. look for gt lumbar seats. i got mine out of a 87 2.3l turbo thunderbird. besides, power seats are only used when you have to adjust them, and the only time i adjust my seats is when i'm looking for spare change under them LOL!

Thanks for the quick feed back guys!!

well actually if i asked i wanted some more power instruments in the car, but i already have power locks, they just dont work anymore....can u believe people wanna chage 70 bucks for 1 actuator???!!! thats the CHEAPEST i've found.

The main thing iwas wondering about was the power windows and mirrors. I've seen the new mirrors with defrosters on them, and thought that was cool, also my manuals are broke or...im just clueless on how to work them. And with the windows its annoying to have to reach across to put down the passanger window. I guess the main issue is the fact that you have to have the key in to adjust the windows.

so if understand power seats, no, power windows yes, and still awaiting word on the mirrors.
