WTB 91 V6 window switch

Hi all

Looking for a drivers side window switch , thought I'd see if anyone has one lying about, and if it's worth getting it to New Zealand
Mines from Japan, so the auto is on the right side , dont know if that's going to be an issue ?

Thanks

Re: Comments on MX3, Mightbe buying it.

Re: Comments on MX3, Mightbe buying it.

Well Had a chat to the guy, the car is 5 hours away so getting a family member who lives there to take a look at it. Guy says it's in good mechanical condition , bar some "weak vavle stem seals" So from what I've heard, thats costly to fix, but doesn't have to be done, and opinions? Cheers
