Subject:      Re-What changes in doors between '84 and '85?

I looked at 86> doors closely before I had my 82 door repaired. I would say that there is no chance of them being changeable. The locking mech on an 86 slides in at 45 degrees whereas the older one goes in at 90. The handles are also a different length. IMHO it will be a botch up if they get it to fit.
