You get a solenoid - and have a switch in the car to pop it open.

As for locking, you dont need it - cus if you wire the switch up right, it will only open with the key in the ignition.

You PMd me, but I thought itd be worthwhile posting here incase anyone else thinking about it.

Maybe some use. I know its from a Nova, but it should still apply.

i done it plated the boot up and welded a bracket in to the boot to hold the old central locking pump, and put that onto the rear wiper so when i put the rear wiper on it shoots out and forces the catch open and the boot lifts the the spring on the catch puts the piston back in on the pump took me 15mins to do
