You can buy new motors for old OEM set-up but cost is 2-3 times cost of
aftermarket stuff. Besides, those whcih are designed for retrofit have
provisions
so you can re-use your old doorpanels and such. OLEM stuff needs PW door
panels. Wiring is also slightly more difficult. I just retrofitted a system
to my
88 Doka along with powerlocks and power mirrors.
