In a message:
You people are such a trip!!  You choose (as I) to drive a very strange
vehicle, which I applaud.   I intend to be buried in it, but I can barely
keep the drive train functioning, and I work on the vehicle almost every
day.  The thought of trying to keep power door locks, power windows and air
conditioning functional is overwhelming---I would have to have the work
farmed out for sure.  My wife is already so pissed at me over my priorities
that power door lock maintenance would push me over the edge.    I took out
my air conditioning (for which I was criticized) and I drive an 85 westy,
which doesn't have power locks and windows.  I just don't have the physical
strength to keep all those luxuries going.  If you do, go for it, but
I  myself would trash a few of those items that seem to be high
maintenance, and put that time into the engine, transaxle, CV joints, wheel
bearings, brakes and fuel injection system.  You can always cripple home
with your power windows jammed; you can't get home with an engine that
won't start.
