Here is what I might suggest to anyone who wants to play around with this. Don't start with a full alarm/keyless kit unless you have a lot of experience with electronics. Just do the door actuators with 2 relays and a SPDT switch like in the thread above by Red9four4. Source for these parts is as follows: either http://www.12vp.com/item_dlp62w_ind.htm or their distributor:
Audio Options, 1559 West 132nd St., Gardena, CA 90249, phone 310-324-2799 and get the following parts:
Two DLP62W pistol 2-wire door actuators (I paid $2.65 each)
Two relays with sockets: OEM1/RS1 (I paid $2.99 each)
One momentary rocker switch RSM7-2E1 (I paid $2.99)

One point about the connecting rods that come with the actuators. While bending one to make the loop as shown in the article, it snapped. I wound up buying some brass rod at Home Depot and fashioned my own connecting rods (use some heat to avoid snapping). Howard

ps - if you've never taken off your door panels, it is fairly easy: http://www.clarks-garage.com/shop-manual/body-11.htm
I fashioned my own door panel removal tool using a tent stake - but careful use of a screwdriver would probably be fine as well. It is not necessary to disconnect the connectors from the window switches/mirror controller. Just remove the two screws holding the window switch panel and push it through the hole - much easier! As for mounting the rocker switch, a location for the relays and a source for non switched 12 volts, pull out the cubby under the radio by using pressure from two thumbs and yanking.

It's fun finding features you didn't know you had... Xagafinelle and I discovered that his script-sport seats are heated

I'm so freakin jealous of those seats

Jeff, or anyone else, I still have all of these parts in the 88 S that I'm parting out. Drop me a line or PM me and we can talk about pricing and whatever parts that you might need.
