can you see the torx bit where you can back the striker bolt out? Im not sure if tit is Torx but it is on my 70 dart, or you could undo the hinges and remove the door at the a pillar. i wouldnt hack the door sheet metal too much if I didnt have to.
I took off the rear seat skin on the pass side to see the inside of the striker bolt but you can only see the threads of the bolt. The striker is removed with the door open and an allen wrench. I was hoping....
