Bolt_Crank Posted November 16, 2003 Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 omg! LOL that's awesome! btw... I noticed you picked up in the middle of nowhere.... did the owner happen to either be a farmer, related to one, or a friend of one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93GTP Posted November 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2003 I'm not sure what the owner did, probably a whole lot of nothing considering how ghetto that place was... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1990 Lumina Euro Coupe Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 I couldn't believe this when I saw it, what a pos "door handle". Oh well, it's only the 5 speed I'm after.. So far I have not had any problems with my door handles. They are a type of pot metal in composition, though. I do know where several door handles are in a couple of junkyards. If someone becomes in dire need of one and cannot find one locally, I can probably get ahold of one at one of the local yards that I frequent.

mdelorie Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 I had one break on me this summer. GM wanted like 250 bucks for a new one. and soooooo... my boss, "AKA, Maguyver(sp)!!!" just took a thin strip of steel... bent it to the countour of the two pieces, and put a couple screws in it to hold it together... Works like a damn! and probably way stronger than stock. I oughta take some pictures of it. It's not exactly pretty... but it's inside the door, all tucked away anyways.

mdelorie Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 Well... it's not really a big deal. He just took the metal from an old computer case we had lying around, drilled and tapped the holes... I actually had to file the door a bit so it wouldn't snag, but it worked. Maybe I'll look into writing a tech article about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
