Need some help from North Dallas guys!
I've got a buddy who lives in McKinney. He's a real nice guy, 18, and loves his 1999 Camaro. Unfortunately, on the ice days a few weeks ago he hit a curb and broke 2 wheels and a PHR (see attachments).
After replacing brakes, wheels, and the PHR he tried to drive away but there was still a BAD wobble from the back driver's wheel. I think he bent his axle also. I told him it would be cheaper/easier to replace the rearend than to have someone replace an axle.
So....what we are looking for is
a) a 98+ rearend with 3.08 or 3.23 gears (his car is 3.08) for cheap
b) someone to install this for a quick buck or two
I don't have the time to invest in a rearend swap, or else I would do it. Anyone up here want to help him out? He's a good kid and REALLY wants to get into the Camaro thing. I don't want him turning to the dark side because of this.
Thanks
Jeremy

Robbie in Mansfield can sell you a rear end for less than $200 probably. Buy the rear end and then pull the axle for now to get it back on the road. I can help do the labor, but I don't have a line on parts.
