has anyone ever converted from power to manual windows on the CGT?  i assume 
that the '84 and earlier CGT's had manual windows...  will the regulators fit 
on the '85-'87 CGT and how hard is the conversion?

****real easy. It's a bolt-on, I guess.

anyone got a pair of manual window regulators they'd part with?

**** I've look into this last year, no used to be found, no new either. But if I
was willing to wait, they were able to order me some from Germany for not much
less than an electric regulator. More than 250$CAN for the manuals, 475$CAN for
the electric. So I declined.

There may be a cheap solution though: the Coupe GT regulators are very similar
to many other European cars that use the same brand (Brose, with a Siemens
motor). One that I saw in person was the front door regulators from a Saab 9000,
and they do look very similar. Maybe you can source these cheap, and
repair/adapt your old regs from the Coupe ? 

Motor/Gearbox should be the same, you use the Coupe's rail+slider, you'll only
have to replace the cable (not easy, but I've done it twice and both are still
working).
