Friggin drivers door has been attacked at some point prior to me buying this cheap '94 wrx as a donor car, and the door lock mechanism doesn't work.

From inside the door lock doesn't have the full range / ease of movement, and it doesn't operate the central locking.

From outside if you lock it with a key, then it will lock and operate the central locking, and it allows you to remove the key - but when you try the door handle it opens the supposedly locked door again and de-central locks the others.

To our untrained eyes none of the rods look misshapened.

Help. lol
