That would be up to you I reckon...

But I would think a straight rebuild of your current rear would be about $500 give or take. If you have a limited slip put in, you're probably looking at closer to a grand.

A used one from a scrap yard shouldn't cost more than a couple hundred. And you probably don't have enough power to really make use of a limited slip yet... unless you like to go 4 wheelin' like I do.

I'd go for a used rear, and keep your old one aside for a limited slip conversion/rebuild down the road when you can use it....

And...my cost estimates are totally out of the blue and are absolutely not based on anything solid except my own experience with the potential work involved...
