Window motor help needed, and MORE (worth a read)
Ok, so the last... well owner before last... was a 100% moron....
SO now I need help. I have a 92 RS I just bought for the gf... in descent shape..
Well the passenger side door has had the rivets drilled out to remove the window motor. I need help with 2 things and i'll tell why i need the help.
1. What size bolts, washers, and nuts will i need to reinstall the window motor bracket back onto the door. (just dont know what size)
2. Where are the holes i need to use to bolt this thing back together, and if i can get a photo that'd help the most.
Why is a photo needed... well like i said above the owner before last was a MORON and this car was a.... sad to say... Drug runner (even says on the carfax why the car has a prior salvage title, it was impounded by the MO Highway Patrol for use in narcotics trafficking) well if anyone has ever bought a car like this knows, they hack stuff up.. and well my passenger side door has about 30 holes drilled in it, and a hole cut in about 4 inchs behind the factory cut out hole for the window motor.. and it is about a foot long and 6 inchs wide.. I thought about buying a new door for the car... but for now i just need the window to stay up and need to bolt everything back together so it wont get rain or snow in the car.
Also if you want, feel free to let me know EVERYWHERE i should search for possable places that the drugs could be located... as i want this car CLEAN I dont want to spend cash on a car to have it takein away by the cops cuz they found something that i didnt, or they didnt the first time around.... The cars inside is in SAD shape... but has a dang near perfect dash pad ($250 score lol)

Well, the best thing to do would probably be to replace both doors. With all of those holes, the interior structure may be compromised (depending on how big the holes are).
As for the rest, I'd gut the interior completely. That's the ONLY way to make sure you got all of the drugs out. Also remove the shield for the gas filler tube and the inner front fender plastics to make sure there aren't any surprises. And then I would probably spray it down and use a shop vac to get rid of the water. Besides, you won't know how good the floors are and what not until you get the seats, console, and carpet out.
I'll see about getting pics later...

and then....
Doesn't sound like you did your GF any favors. Sounds more like you bought yourself a project.
You need to replace anything damaged or destroyed by the police. Hit up Hawks, ebay and any junkyard you can find.

Heres a pic of my door from when I welded the corner back on it as it was used for a 4th gen door panel swap by the previous owner. Sorry its a far shot but you can see a few of the spots where the 4 bolts go. I used 10mm heads like in the rest of the door parts and just found a nut for the back of it and tightend them in.
Third pic shows the 2 top ones
