For the time, material and effort You could've gotten 2 used latches from the pull and pick yard.

my 2 neurons finally crossed paths, and apparently they way to door locks is a tiny little clip, that with a screwdriver i just moved out of the way, allowing the latch to come bsck down and let me shit the door.

Door latch on ebay is $50

With the dent behind the door, I suspect something more is going on.

nah, I just fucked around and found out. the door closed before, albeit not well. not after some good ol fiddling, it just doesn't close at all

You can find a door latch for a mustang?
You need rockauto, ebay, or a junkyard.

Should work, but it would be smart to grab a large cheap waterproof tarp from Harbor Freight at some point.
