Default lost 3rd gear, help. classic impreza gc8

Just pulled out to overtake a moped lol and I totally lost 3rd gear and now it's rattling like mad. I can get every gear other than 3rd but very noisy. What are my options and how much money am I looking at?

Cheers

Really that cheap? Relief! I was expecting and 600 plus bill just for a box. Is it a big job to do on the drive do you think or does it need to be on garage ramps really? Thanks madscoob
