You'll have to do some body work... cut out the handle holding portion
of the donor car and have it "spliced" into your door.  And you will
also have to arrange the rods and levers that operate the locks and
latches so they function properly.

It is in my long term plans to do this to my 82 coupe, using rear door
handles and remote locking.

I have heard that the VW boys do this all the time, I think there are
kits available that include the sheet metal so they don't have to find
and chop up good doors to do the job.
