I would be tempted to stuff it full of wet towels and weld from the outside. This would at least protect the electricals. Good luck and let us know what you did.

Is there any way of getting behind the door stay on the fender side? If I drop that half into the fender area can I get it back?

In between is the door stay that bolts to the door, and is welded to the body. the stay that I'm talking about is two pieces and has a torx bolt that connects the the ...

I have just taken another look and I don't like what I see. This thing has surely been welded in the past and although the welder must have been careful enough no to damage any electrical, it doesn't look as if he was a very good welder. I've got to get the door off this wekend and see if i have eno...

I found the instructions on how to drill and bolt, but I ran into a problem when I took a look at it last night. The previous owner ...

Thanks guys for all the help. I got started a little late today. Temp in Charlotte this morning was in the 20's. Had no luck finding a long torx at sears, harbor freight tool, home depot or lowes. I did find at auto zone an "L" shaped set of torx similar to a set of allen's. They were just...
