Hi, welcome to the forum. This is the build threads section, where people document their lengthy builds and upgrade progress. You will want to post in the technical section. A moderator will have it moved.
To answer your question, there are many things that can be causing noise from the rear end. Differential bushings go bad, pillow ball bushings, if have not been replaced already are most likely bad. Diff bearings could be worn, etc. You will be much better being more specific, possibly posting a video, or finding a local rx7 specialist/ knowledgeable forum member to help you diagnose the issue.

Prices vary greatly dependent on condition. Interior parts are getting harder to find in nice shape and are pricey. You would need compression test numbers to see how healthy the engine is, but if its original at that mileage it would be uncommon. The model matters (Base, touring, or R1). Etc, etc. A good guess would be in the 8-12k range.

My advice to you would be to read the FAQs

Nothing wrong with asking questions, but the forum is a wealth of knowledge and most things have been discussed before. A few hours reading and researching should be able to answer most of your questions.
