"89 900 S - cracked head? and short?

I have a beautiful 900S sitting in the driveway with two suspected problems:
1) short in ignition? dummy lights come on and p. windows do not work when car is shorting - drains battery very quickly and must be jumped to get going again. solving problem temporarily by removing battery cable when parked...
2) after an overheat (blown hose) in the summer it has idled irregularly (cycling) and at it's latest start, ran very rough & maybe some foam in the oil cap?!
My question is: what can I expect to be charged for these sorts of repairs? There is no dedicated Saab mechanic in my new town (that I've found) and I don't want to get taken because someone is unfamiliar with the car.
Also: is this worth it? I just put new brakes and rotors and I have strong feelings for this little auto, but when do I say "enough"?
ANY ADVICE?
