car locks, hatchback repairs and so on

got an 88' rex needs COSMETIC work

for starters the rear hatch lock does not accept a key..can only be opened by using pliers to pull the wire near driver side..but then it won't close...

Here's what I recommend...

Get your hatch lock fixed somehow.

Get yourself a keyless entry alarm, then take out your door-handles and replace them with the rear-door handles from a sedan.

Fixing your rear defrost could be a problem, depending on how bad it is, you'll probably just end up having to replace the entire back window.

As far as the rear wiper goes, I'd say that it's alot more work than it's worth...


However, if you can get yourself to a junkyard, just get a hatch from an Si so that you've got a new back window (hopefully with a working defrost), a wiper, and while you're at it, grab the lock and have it re-keyed or something...
