98 Civic EX Cp Driver Door Electric vs Manual
Need to replace my 98 Civic driver door. It's electric. Unrepairable exterior damage, glass and interior fine. Manual doors are ceaper, can I retrofit a used manual door with my electric parts easily?

if you want to change it to manually...you will need new/used non powered stuff:
door (since your is damage, but it doesnt matter if powered or not)
door panel
manually regulator (i hope that the correct terminology)
so i think it will be cheaper for you just to replace BACK to an EX door becuase you have most of the components already.

if you're asking if you can use a manual door (since they are cheaper) and turn it into power... yes you can... its just a matter of remembering where everything goes

Yes thats what I would like to do, all the electric parts on the existing door are fine.
Safety beam is bent via side collision, I doubt if I can straighten it. If I could I would repair that door.
Thought about pulling the door and using a jack, but one person said it would be extremely dificult.

tryin to fix that door would be some work, but it could be done. cost a lil bit of $$$ but it would be ALOT easier to just pickup a manual door and convert it over.

The safety beam that ties the dorr hinges to the rear qtr panel is bent in about 2". The skin would be fixable, if I could straighten the beam.
