Messing with stuff like that seems to be never ending. 2800. Bucks is outlandish. 700 sounds right. I wonder if the $2800.00 was from one of those Union shops where people make a “ living wage” as Harry calls it?

And yes, when you see how products were designed and built, you can understand why they bout went broke.

The design was to minimize time on the assembly line. That union labor adds up, eh?

That was the main driver behind the front wheel drive craze. You drop
the whole drive train in at one time and they are modular enough to
span many product lines. They come in on a pallet from god knows where
and they drop them in just about anything.
The problems do arise when you have to work on some of them. When you
look in the Prelude shop manual for the timing belt replacement, It
starts you with "remove engine transaxle assembly" instructions.
The reality is the dealer shop knows a trick where they just loosen
the motor mounts and tilt it up but it is still not your average shade
tree job. Nothing on this Prelude appears to be. Next week I am going
after a $75 broken door handle, wish me luck.
First I have to find the part. ;-)

You might find it easier/cheaper to buy the entire door (with handle)
from a junkyard and then paint it to match.
