adam

you nock the pin out, so it comes apart, but make shure you dont loose the spring.

i de-locked my car this week, took me 20 mins each door (i've taken the doors apart that many times i can do it with my eyes shut, lol). i used some Cav rear door handles, cleaned them up, primered and sprayed them, and put them on the car.

if anyone whats their car delocking then i'll do it for them, 70 quid and i will supply the handles, or 50 quid if you supply the handles.

Rob

when you got the veccie handles were they split ie the hinge so you could paint them and how did you put it back to gether??

cheers fella
ill get em soon
my handle stll works for now
"bit skint"

When I de-leocked mine, I simply took the locking barrel out and then re-attached the rear case - the metal bit that the bolts go through right?

If you've got the parts already then theres no point worrying about this.

Best advice if you paint it yourself is take your time, the prep defines the quality of the final result.

Rich

the cases that are there have the lock barrels in them.
so if i got rear shells cases they wont so it jus bolts on
make my life eaiser.
what d-y reckon?

I did mine using a can of Vaux paint from a dealer - £5 including Lacquer - easy to do when you take the handle-pull off the handles if you see what I mean.

Handles will be a straight swap. Veccie handles would have come pre-primed n smooth, but make sure you sand yours down very well with wet n dry and they'll be the same (Ive colour coded my 5-door rear handles).

No need to but new rear cases though I wouldn't have thought.

Rich

got a 3-door corsa 96 n reg
the drivers side return spring went so i want to de-lock it

if i got the outer and inner part's off a 5-door corsa The rear handles and inner shells they screw to would this be a straight swap??

and how good would halfords paint be to paint em cause the body shop wants £150 to do em:!
