I did mine and it wasn't too expensive, you will need,

2 electric moters with regulators (LH and RH)
2 Rear door looms for electric windows
2 Rear window switches
A drivers side front window switch
6 Large pop rivets
You might also need a Drivers door loom but you'll need to check to make sure the socket for the switch has all the wiring to it, i seem to remember it should have 24 pins with wires connected.

But check first to make sure you have the wiring for the rear windows in the main loom, you'll need pull the socket from the bottom of the "B" pillar in the rear door opening and seperate it and count how many of the pins have wires connected to them. From memory there should only be a couple that don't have wires to them if you have the wiring already there. I was lucky it was already there on mine.
If you don't have all the wiring to to the "B" pillar socket it gets a bit more complicted.
I did mine in about 6hours from start to finish but i wasn't rushing.
