central locking on boot + retrofit

hi, this is my first post as a new member. I have a 86 twr 3.6, I have had an aftermarket alarm/central locking/keyfob kit fitted. However as the original central locking did not include the boot, this obviously does not lock/unlock the boot. Can anyone advise me how easy/difficult/impossible it would be to retro fit a later solenoid operated lock to allow the boot to be included in the central locking.
thanks in advance for any advice

hi and welcome

well, the lock etc will fit, but the wiring would be the main issue , as i doubt there will be anything there to utilise ,

i would suggest scrutinising the wiring diagrams for the different years,

mine is an 89 coupe, and does have the central locking boot
