Looks great!

I just fixed all my passenger door handle problems several months ago. I don't remember having to use a metal piece to attach the bottom of the handle to the other piece though...? I think the screw was just loose or missing or something, I don't remember for sure. I'll have to look at it the next time I take it apart. It's solid as hell though. I let people actually use the handle to close the door now LOL.

I had a problem with the mounts on the long thin part too, the one holding the very back of it down, close to the striker end of the door. I didn't know you could get those nylon bushings though. I just JB welded a bolt on there because my mount was completely gone and I used a nut on it. Actually I think I used two nuts, one as a locknut, and tightened them against each other.

I also had a problem with the mount right behind the window switch. I JB welded that back together too. So far it's been holding up pretty well, knock on wood lol.

I didn't do any cleaning of window runners or regulator though, now I kinda wish I had done that while I was in there, didn't even cross my mind.
