Bent the 10 bolt

Bent the 10 bolt
Well, I just got informed by a mechanic, who inspected my car after some old woman ran me off the road into a curb, that my rear end is bent. The right rear tire is off .65 inches to the right. How bad would you consider that? Shouldn't be driven?
But anyways, I was wondering what my options are. I'm mostly looking at cost, reliability, and weight. I could live with a repaired 10 bolt, however that would be done, for a while. But if there's a cheap option for some type of stronger rear end from a junkyard, that'd be great. Open to suggestions
The car won't be seeing a drag strip too often, but will still be subject to some hard driving occasionally. I'm planning on staying NA, bolt ons and some internal work, so I'll probably end up in the low 400s.

Your cheapest option is just finding a used 10 bolt to put in it. Its not worth spending any money repairing your current one when you can get a good used one for under $200.
Any aftermarket rear is going to cost over $1500 minimum realistically.

Any larger than normal rears that I can source from other vehicles?

Nope, nothing is out there that wouldn't require extensive modifications to get it to fit. Keep in mind that with your manual transmission you don't want to put much money into a 10 bolt, as there are inherently fragile. Bob
