Question wagon rear doors

hi everyone,
i am looking at upgrading my forte wagon rear doors to electic windows. having talked to a local wrecker it seems this may be a harder task then i first thought. what i need to do is at least get a lhr door as the current one has a big scratch and dent in it, but im wondering if wagon doors are similar to fairlane doors. i know they arent the same as sedan doors, but since the fairlane and wagon are both lwb vehicles, perhaps the doors are the same? if so i may be able to source both rear doors with power windows. my other option is to simply replace the lhr door then fit power regulators and go from there. the other question i have which is more important i guess is, will the wiring for the power windows be in the wagon doors or pillers, or not?
thanx for any help you can offer

I didn't see this thread have been in Melbourne for a the past 4 days.

I have done the conversion in my wagon.

*The door trims are the same from SWB to LWB. I have Fairmont Ghia door trims in my car.
*The wiring will not be there. You will have to get wire, wire the switches then run the wire to the front so the driver can control the rears. The hardest part is wiring up the drivers door electric switch. The pins from the standard electic switch to the 4 way electric switch is different. The reason being is for the little lights inside the switches.

You will need:
the 4 way drivers door electric switch from any AU.
rear power window switches, again from any AU
rear electric window winders, from any AU
the wirinf to go with the rear power window switches (you need the connector, not so much the wiring but it helps) again from any AU.

Once you have that speak to Stav (Stingray Car security). He did my conversion and works like a charm.
