Default Door sheet metal removal

Guys,
I'm trying to get access to the outer door handle.
In order to do that, it's obvious that I should remove the inner sheet metal(not the plastic door panel).
Anyone know how to remove those?

If you are trying to remove the door handle its done from the guts of the door can really take the sheet metal off...

Apparantly, I didn't make myself clear.
I was talking about the door handle that's outside, not the one you see in the picture.

The door is 1 piece. To remove any part of the metal door shell will destroy it, you would have to cut the door apart.

To remove the outside door handle, you pull back the plastic vapor barrier and work through the big access hole on the inside of the door.

To remove the door handle work through the back side of the door. Remove the two 10mm bolts the hold on the metal support. The support will slide off. But first you must remove the key lock which is held on by a spring steel clip. Just pull the clip down to remove it and the key lock will come out through the back.

Good luck

Thanks for the replies.
and no, I'm not installing the mirrors.
I was bored and was thinking of doing something just to kill some time.
