[V8] lost key

I have/had one key for my '90 Avant converted with a V8. When I took a job in
NY 6 months ago, my significant other asked for the key in case the car needed
to be moved. Now I can't find my key, and she denies I gave it to her.

So, what to do?  I tried briefly to fish a jimmy through the window stripping, 
but not knowing what it looks like behind the door, I couldn't feel something
to hook onto to lift the door lock.

Does anyone have a picture of the interior of the Type 44/V8 door?

I figure once I get the door open, I can remove the cylinder and take it to the 
local locksmith.

Any other suggestions to open the door and make a key?

Thanks.
