Nice to see that you are already driving and enjoying your 181.

The door lock mechanisms/handles, etc that was missing... Did you find that it was similar to that from a kombi or beetle. Or did you have to import that?
Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.
Do'nt assume anything- (While doing fault-finding).
