so yesterday I felt like i should make it so that my key worked on the locks in my car because i am getting a new job soon and i dont want anyone to go into it. so i took a spare key cylinder we had and re-arraged the pins so that most of them fit, and then took a dremill and grinded them all down so they were smooth. and low and behold, doing that 2 times and some spray lithium greese, and now my doors lock and i can unlock them. yay.

today i am going to do the trunk lock.

The only thing I would have done differently is to take apart all of the locks, and use all of the wafers on the ignition and door locks, so that they have correct wafers. Then when you do the glove box & trunks, you can grind those to fit. Otherwise, nicely done! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)
