    WTB: Drivers door handle assembly

    Mine has been getting worse and worse, the return spring is gone, the lock tumbler barely turns, and every morning I wonder if this is the day...Luckily we have steel keys instead of brass.
    Thanks for your attention.

    use the trunk lock to save the lock while you look for the handle. If tomorrow is the day and one shows up there is still shipping delays before you are whole again.

    I can install remote entry, but it doesnt change the fact that the door handle does not return to closed/flush position.

    Jay, timing off but I ended up parting that 81, honestly don't remember what condition the door locks we're in but it'll be at the Newark pick n pull soon, I'll pull the handle assy for you when it hits the yard, close to work...

    Oh damn, I thought you sold it whole.
    That would be great if you could grab that for me.
    You going to SD?

    Buyer flaked on eBay- That's where the 265/6 came from. I kept some small parts as backup for my car and pulled the diff- Strangely enough it was a large case 3:46LSD, I thought only the euro cars had the big case... I can't imagine the PO would have swapped in a larger LSD diff, he was the original owner and up in age.

    No problem, I'll keep an eye out, guess I should have pulled all the handles.

    Yeah, plan on going down south- you leaving thursday again or friday early?

    I'll be heading down Thursday again. Meet us at the hangar Friday to travel the last leg from Pacoima to SD.

    Let me dig around in my garage. I think I have the handles from the 82 I parted out if those will work.

    Yeah it was- I took the 5spd, diff and some interior parts. I actually went back for the door handles, was a bitch to get those door handles off, I ended up breaking the drivers side and was able to remove the pass side- learned allot in the process... Looking back I should have started with the pass side.

    btw, you and your son driving down to SD this year?
