Strip it down, get it checked, and take it from there.

Im quite sure there are a vast selection of bottom ends out there, meaning a low mileage one should be possible.

how much do you think it will be to fully re-build the bottom?

I have no idea mate.

Id imagine it'd depend on the extent of the rebuilt.
