When I bought my regal it had shaved doors. The guy lost the key pad, I was wondering how easy is it to convert back to door handles? Its a metal plate welded over the key hole and painted over.

Depending how it was welded. The door skin could be to warped. May cause a problem with the outer door handle. Or you can get a door skin from a junk door cut the handle section out and graft it on to your door.

if you have to get the car safetied to put it on the road you might have to revert the doors back to the door handles. A car with shaved doors here won't pass a safety

if I had to have a door handle again, I'de just replace the whole door, and swap all the good stuff over to the new door
But i would rather just leave it shaved, by getting a new reciever with remotes. THat would be the cheapest route, if all the shaved door kit components actually work
