how hard to swop over 90'spec mk2 3dr door?

so after a kind chap parked his car into my drivers door, i need to swop mine over.
i need to swop the mirror, and lock as the new door is bare. how harder job is it?

the car has centrall locking, and a solenoid for my toad. this is my biggest worry. any tips?

not too hard, biggest pain for me was keeping the plastic liner in tact, as it has special clips that hold it to the door. if you have a pry bar easy peasey. does the new door have all internals etc or is it a full swap? if its a full swap its fiddly to get runners for the window out but thats about it!
with regards to the central locking pump etc mine already had connectors so you could separate from the loom in the dash in the door itself so it was a case of unplug and put into new door! :smiley:
