Default 98 xj door lock and handle????

My door locks dont work at all, the switch just makes that buzzing noise. I took off the door panel and where the handle rod attaches is broke and the lock is also!!
Are those panels inside the door where the rods attach to removable from like a donor door? I want my door locks to work again and was thinking about putting in a viper after i get the
locks figured out!!!
