Thanks for the advice, I'll check the link. Yeh I should have been more detailed on the latch issue. It tore the metal around one bolt hole, probably because there was only one bolt on it at one time. I found other bolts that match nicely except for being hex headed and its in there good now, still need to weld up the tear tho. The one tore handle I have, which has no key hole, doesn't go far enough when I push the button to work the latch. I suspect tho this is a pass side handle. I need to align the door and stuff too, I think more than anything it will take time. I've been thru all this before, but in the VW world, first time I've had a domestic vehicle that is this old.
