Olds Regency/Caddy Style Door Handles installed
They look alot like caddy door handles!Was gonna use Grand Am units, but these are cleaner looking.Should have the Dr.side done tomorrow, minus body work.
All hooked up, even using my original key.Looks like $h!t, but ill clean it up later on.The lock functions opposite stock, but ima re-do the linkage too.

Nothing, except they were worn/loose/rattled & the spring was broken.These are very smooth & quiet.

Maybe from far away, key's in the wrong spot though.Plus the c4 pocket is on the door, not part of the door handle like these.

Re: Olds Regency/Caddy Style Door Handles installed
Thank you. Finished re-doing the lock linkage, works same as stock now. Window comes about 1/8 from touching the vertical rod. Braided sleeve in case the rods rub against each other.
