As for the locks, the drivers side came with a keyed door lock that is supposed (supposed) to work from the outside with a key. The passenger side on some earlier cars did NOT have a key lock on the outside, and could only be locked and un-locked from the inside, if your car (I take has a key lock on the passenger side) then that lock should function the same as the drivers side, with the same key. Boot (trunk) key is different, as is the ignition, so all cars came with 3 keys.
It could be that the key tumbler is corroded inside, or the linkage is not connected, either way the door panel needs to be of, and personally if it was me I'd just take the entire system out of the car, get it on the bench, and clean it up and lube it, figure out whats not working and replace it.
I actually admire people that want what is there working, but at some point I ask myself, self is it worth it.
So cheer up and have fun with that quirky little car.
Brett.
