LTOS,
I have had similar questions percolating regarding my '91 Beryl Green SPG.
IMHO - The preservation of the structural and aesthetic integrity, historical significance, and uniqueness and rarity of your car demand as much originality as possible. Some of us purist Saabers revel at the idea of restoring our cars to exact factory specs, making it as close to the day it rolled out of the factory.
You have a unique car and opportunity to protect and preserve a rare specimen of Saab history in its current condition without having to paint. The factory repaint of the door, despite lack of color match, only adds to the cars historical significance and originality.
Like VSFOXE suggested, substitute original parts as able and/or needed, store appropriatley, and enjoy the car in the most original condition possible. Just my .02 & best of luck
