cheers buddy your dead right it took about 8 hours and ive still not totally finished the drivers door

i was concerned with the handles cracking so i used an epoxy resin on the inside of the handles and then waxoyled them to keep any moisture out filled over the keyhole on the passenger door as it was fubar'd.....still its a bit different and i dont know if anyone else has done this

Much better than de-handling altogether - I've never liked the "no handle" doors as IMO they just do not look right........
