I was thinking of doing the same thing - however I'm not welding up the hole, the warpage would be a prick to deal with, and the irreversiblity of doing the same thing is not good IMHO. Rust issues too... I was thinking of cynoacrylating (superglue) or epoxying (araldite) a backing plate inside the door, and bogging up the hole. Will look perfect and be a hell of a lot quicker to do. I was contemplating removing the inside knobs and relatied mechanisims too - to make it harder to pick, but I thought better of it - you can lock the doors by pushing the open lever down, but only unlock it using whatever dodgy central locking you've got installed. Being locked out of you car is a problem, being locked in could be downright dangerous. None of this is a good theft deterent, round here, a hammer through the side window is the usual technique. --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
