ignition problem and other questions (somewhat long)

I have an 88 900tubro, it has 297,000 miles.
Right now it won't start, I have yet to check the ignition system.
A similar problem happened to me before and after replacing the Ignition control module it has run fine. I thought it was the same problem, but replacement did not solve the problem.
Other than the current situation, the steering fluid leaks from somewhere, never a problem, but recently the steering has begun to feel "heavy" especially at highway speeds. Could this be the steering rack or maybe some air in the power steering fluid?
I need to replace brake rotors and pads somewhat soon as well. I am looking to get crossdrilled rotors and maybe performance pads.
The body is starting to show it's age, rust in a few spots.
The engine has never given me trouble and the tranny is good except for an worn 2nd gear synchro.
How much do you think I should spend to keep this car versus buying a newer car and having this one for parts? The engine has never given me trouble and the tranny is good except for an worn 2nd gear synchro.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
thanks
