Why bother with all the hassle of fitting the electrics, just have a cable release.
To do away with the external door handles one uses a solinoid to pull the rod that resides inside the door to replicate the action of lifting/pulling the handle.
There are several ways of operating the solinod which can include a small switch under the mirror (TVR), a remote blip or a reed switch which is triggered by a small magnet.
There are kits available on eBay for not much money.
They will take some time and effort to make them work.
