you can't steal them off my car!

I'll pop past there tomorrow morning and ask for you, the door handles should be super easy to find, there are heaps of those door handles out there, they were on virtually every mitsi car in the late nineties.

try pick a part for the handles,
every now in then they have have a later modle lancer/mirage that have the same handles as the legnums/galants....
i bought mine off trademe, $50 for the pair, and $50 to paint,

kempys will cost you round $75each for the handles..

you gonna remove the key holes on your front doors???

Did you get them new?..If so, do you still have their contacts?

Yeah, planning to make it keyless....anyone else done this??

...I see you around Manukau a fair bit dude...hard to miss with your white wheels. :thumbsup:

but this guy is wrecking both a leggy and galant

I've done the keyless thing, looks better IMO,
easy as... only 2 bolts hold on the handles,
and its a direct swap, no mods needed.

Yeah i work in manukau, and live in botany... so i can always be seen and definately heard around there :)

I promise I'll get it back on track once I go to Kempys, I was going to today, but I sort of forgot.

Speaking of totara heights, I pulled up alongside a nice looking blonde in a white facelift legnum vr-4 tonight at a set of lights and had a little chat about the club, she seemed pretty keen, and you guessed it, she lived in totara heights
