How to open hatch?

I just bought a '84 parts car that did not come with a key to the trunk...
It is not hooked up to a battery or any power source, so I can't pop it with the button....

Appreciate it!

Try popping the lense of the trunk compartment light out, then use a screw driver to unlatch the mechanism around the lock and the hatch should pop open.
Won't get it shut again afterwards without battery support, though.
