As I understand you should be able to at least reinstall the mechanism and have locking doors. They should be easily available from parts dealers.

I disagree that wiring would be too difficult. I believe the wires would run from the dash behind the side footwear upholstery and under the door sill, which unscrews. Then you could probably fish them thru the B pillar. Question is whether your door still has that plastic piece the wires go through. And IDK if the doors had their own ground wire ran to the chassis. I would assume so. I admit I'm not the best source of info on this...

Anyway, if you were able to get the wires where they need to go (basically, dash to inside the door) the wiring would not be difficult for your mechanic.
