Well my radio setup is going to be a raspberry pi system. I already have it and the 7" touchscreen and ridiculous subwoofers and whatnot. It really would not be hard to tie the window and lock functions into it. However, I still have the manual switches so I don't really have a point to 
Before all of this car is said and done I might just end up replacing the delenair with the pi. If that happens then I guess I will end up digitizing almost everything in the car.

Sorry, must have missed this post. For some of us here Jags are a hobby that has become a passion.
Motorcycles have always been a passion for me as long as I can remember, it goes with growing up in a motorcycle mad family in a motorcycle mad country.
Here is a before & after of my first full resto, and I still think it is the best one I have done.(I think it was 15 months from buying it until having it road registered)

Very nice work. That is the last Suzuki that looks like a motorcycle. The later ones more like Star War machines.
My son bought a similar one brand new. Transitioning from dirt to road. Ouch !!! dear departed wife and I "sweated".
Then on a factory required warranty service, the shop 'screwed up the valves!! So, son striped it down and "fixed" it. Bigger cams, bigger bore. 4 into one pipe to improve extraction and dump weight. Much faster... Aye, yay yay.
Yipee, he tired of it and sold it. A CHP bought it, a motorcycle cop. Much impressed with it's speed and power.

Absolutely bullet proof engines. The days of real naked muscle bikes.
