That soda trick worked great!
The decals are going to look great too!

This is awesome! These are such favored tuner cars so it's pretty rare to see someone doing a stock resto. Good luck on your journey sir! Keep us updated.
It's funny how they tried to glue it back together when you can pick up a new handle for less than $20 pretty much anywhere.So finally got around to swapping out the awful plastic door handles for the aluminum ones I picked up on the site. I ended up opening a can of worms on the passenger side repairing a “rigged” setup where the previous owner has clearly broken a handle and attempted a shady repair. Repair came complete with glue to top it off! And the outside screw was completely rusted out inside. After half a day of messing with the locks/handles and repairing the rig job I got them in. They are sooooooo smooth and sturdy. Feel way better than the plastic ones.

Well I considered them but with 200 bucks I could do other things...Man that’s so true. It’s such a shame when people do things like this to these cars.. well really to any car. Just glad it’s one less thing I have to worry about with the aluminum handles. If you don’t have then installed yet I HIGHLY recommend them!
Just be careful what you use that por15 on. Don't use it on anything that you think you'll have to remove it from in the future. I used it on my trunk and it took a few hours with some 120 grit to removeWell ripped all the suspension out PLUS decided to go all the way and drop the subframe and gas tank to have access to all the body and hardware. It gives me a chance to clean everything and treat anything I find. Using por15 on some things but also using the 3M rubber spray for the fuel stuff. More to come as it starts going together.
