[TR] Embarrassing, but, stuck driver's door on GT6

[Michael Porter]

Mea culpa, mea culpa, I haven't driven the GT6 in a long time and the 
code enforcement nazis in town are making me get rid of it unless I can 
prove it runs.  It needed a new battery, so I got one (when did 
batteries get sooo expensive?).  Needed fuel, put some in it.

But, now, I can't get into it.  The outer door handle broke a long time 
ago, so I just left the window part-way open so I could reach in and 
open it with the interior door pull.  But that doesn't work now.  It's 
really, really stuck.  Won't budge a bit, almost like it was welded 
shut.  Now, there were chips in the paint on the door seam like someone 
may have tried to pop the door open with a screwdriver, but, I'm not 
sure that's the problem.  I think the lock and pawl are just plain 
frozen.  The actuating lever on the latch mechanism does move, as does 
the locking slide.

I've been bumping, prying, cussing to no avail.  Any ideas?


Cheers.
