Default I've done goofed the ignition switch

So part of my key has been stuck in the ignition and I would use the other half to start the vehicle.

Last night it decided it was not turning and after having to replace the alternator and battery I wasn't all too pleased with it.

Let's say I hammered the cylinder in and I am currently working towards removing the assembly now.

What's next? New assembly with keys and a door handle or new assembly and keys, or push to start?

Halp!

I'd hit up paul grant (or the likes) and get new cylinder and keys

if you were to go the push button route, would you still need handle and key?

If I went push to start I could get the switches rebuilt on the fob and open/close the door that way. Add a fuel pump kill switch and call it good?

placing more thought into it, that for sure would be a bad idea, i could always get a key made for the door handle ai have now still with the push to start.
