What to do with my 900?

I own a 91 900 base 4 door with a 5 speed, about 145K miles. It runs flawlessly and has always been very well cared for. I am the second owner. Car has a rebuilt trans, new clutch, fuel pump, AC system, head gasket, etc. etc...
While mechanically sound, the body is starting to rust and clearcoat on the paint is getting pretty tired. Bumpers are pretty gouged up, and recently someone hit the car when it was parked (hit and run) which caused some damage to the headlights/grill area.
I LOVE this car, and I am thinking about sending it in this summer to get all the rust delt with (its not bad now, just a couple of surface issues and the drivers door has a hole in the bottom on the inside) and the damage to the front corrected, etc. BUT, I am thinking that maybe if I am going to invest in a Saab it should be a turbo or SPG...
I would appreciate any advice. A lot of friends and family have told me to stop pouring money into this car... But you cant just go to the dealer and buy a new one.... I think people on this board know what I mean...
And does anyone know a good body restoration shop in CT or Mass?
