Easy if you change early manual for early electric, or late manual for late electric. Change over was early '88, IIRC.
Get the switches and cutout from a scrapper, complete with the wiring loom around the swiches and cutout, leaving about 300mm of wire attached. Get the relay and small wiring loom from the back of the glovebox, and the door light switches as well, if you want the windows to work with the doors open and ignition off as well as just with the ignition on.
Holes in the doorcards where the manual winder were can be covered with a couple of pod type tweeter units.
