Doors yes, windows no. They are found in numerous sets (without glass:-(). The
gray drop plate can be found in 4549 Road N Rail Hauler. Clear hinge windows are
tough, but the blue ones come from the 4559 as Kevin said. If you decided on a
black color scheme, you can now get the drop plate in black from the new 4561.
Internally, the sink and fawcett might be a bust, but there are alternatives
available. Good Luck:-)
