Yeah, I know how to fix the door, I'm just not sure if I will fix it. Its a beater, and really just about no amount of reconditioning (that I'm willing to do) will fix that. It is already worlds better than when it was first purchased for $900.

I did take some time to work on the parking / emergency brake last night. Apparently there is no adjustment... There is nothing inside, nor outside. My guess is that it is designed to have enough lever throw that you never need to adjust it. This of course assumes that the rear drum adjusters are properly adjusting. I will be checking this next. My guess is they've frozen up and I'm not actually getting any rear braking going on at all.
