Will, I have done it, I don't know anybody else on here that has. I think its a terrific mod. No more broken handles, no more pry in damage (worst you'll get is a broken window, before the alarm scares off 90% of the thugs trying to get in or nick it, not to mention the time wasting with "where the f@ck is the handle").

 

It can get annoying at times tho, as you need two hands to open the door. I have also been told that Corrado doors are heavy with tight/sticky door seals that can prevent the door poppong open as it would on othere cars where you might more commonly see shaved doors. To be honest I haven't noticed this yet, tho I do live in Ireland, and it really doesn't get as hot here as somewhere, say, like Texas. I suppose you could lube up the seals with a graphite spray to stop 'em sticking. Just a point tho to bear in mind before you start.

As for the details, check out my info in this thread.

I'm also working on tidying up the wiring a bit, so have drawn out circuit diagrams which aren't posted here yet as its still a work in progress. Tho the way it is now has worked without hiccup for the past year.

Feel free to PM me for more info.
