New to the forum, just bought my first car an 83 El Camino (Also looking for some help with doorlocks)

[man23]

Hello everyone, Im Manuel an 18 year old from Madrid, Spain (from across the pond) and I just bought my first car an 83 El Camino.
Some historyof the car : It was brought to Spain in the early 2000s where it went through some strange facelift (I kinda like it) and it then sat for about 5 years until I saw the ad and bougth it just 2 weeks ago, Ill leave some photos for your amusement.
Now, maybe some of the experts could lend me a hand with some trouble im having triying to install the door locks, there is a piece that I dont have wich is critical for the locks to work I think its called the PAWL(ill also leave a photo) but I canot find it anywhere in the internet
maybe someone could tell me where to buy a set of those or if some one has a spare set I could buy them, any help will be much apreciated.
Thanks.
