MkIII Door Handles on MK1

[jtoomasson at yahoo.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

During my preliminary look into this, my sense is that you have to somehow
swap the opening lever within the door to the mk2 style (the one that moves
in the vertical plane with respect to the car - the mk1 moves in the
horizontal plane.)

Don't know if it's possible yet. Maybe someone else can chime in.
