Try and get all the parts from a wrecker. They'll be a lot better quality and easier to fit (especially the electric windows).

If you're going for remote central locking you may as well fit an alarm that has remote locking.

I have been looking into the same operation for my truck... it looks like it will be a bit of effort, but should be doable... I never thought about going to a wrecker for that stuff, but I guess I got a lot of parts to buy right now, so it might be a start to look there. Let me know if you find anything that can tell you how to do it... I would be quite interested myself.

You can buy a central locking kit from Dick Smiths for about $45, 5 years on & it still works in my work van.
