handles just need taking off and flushing, there is only a cable linking the handle to the lock part

Have they de-handled any cars before??

Follow the advice post by Tech.  And as Wazzzer says there is only a cable going from the outside handle to the latch that needs removing

Alternatively, buy a 3 door  :tongue:

The hardest part is getting it look right after welding the plate in.
