Got the new door handle installed. Took about 15 minutes from starting to remove the door panel to putting it back on, but I did have to take part of the handle apart to get it through the door; the pivot that doesn't have the actuator attached had a longer pivot pin than the old one. Fortunately, it's only held on by a c-clip.

New handle is plastic, not metal, so I was a bit bummed by that, but the paint went on easily and looks reasonably like the old stuff. Door opens and closes like it's supposed to, but the action is a bit higher than I think the old one was. Don't think that's adjustable, but it works and that's what counts.

Oh yeah... I'll try to post pics when I get around to snapping them.
