My car already has a rod connecting the two door levers together where somebody hooked up a mechanical style lever to open and close the doors, so I only need one actuator. Just need to figure out the mounting of the actuator behind the grille.

Did a test fit and a quick hookup of the electric actuator to see if it is strong enough to open and close both doors. I'd say phase one was a success. Here's a quick video I just shot with my cell phone.
