Re: door handles

But of course!

Many people put the S10 or Dodge Neon door handles in their Maro, just cause they sit so flush.

If you've got the time a quick search and there are a ton of pics, I actually seen a thread just today that had some good pics in it.

Anyways, the long and the short of it... Find the donor vehicle, cut out the handle plus a few extra inches around it. Go to the ol' Maro, cut the same, and weld the other ones in.

Bend up those pieces inside to make em latch properly, maybe pull out the cutters and trim em a bit, and away you go

They say it's best to grind out the old handles though, don't cut weld em out... Aparently that causes too much heat inside the door and messes your wires and such up. So just make sure you grind them out on the Maro... Or Bird, whatever
