Need front doors for my 1987 9000 Turbo

I have a 1987 Rose Quartz Metallic 9000 T 5-speed with 192,000 miles on it. Two years ago I had a body shop fix rust at bottom of the doors, around wheel arches, etc. Two winters later in the salt-laden Northeast, the rust on the door bottoms is back on the new metal that was welded in and supposedly treated with Por 15, evidently fed by water seeping in behind the side black trim molding.I also see rust on the outside windshield pillars, the wheel arches (again), behind the side molding.
So, minimally I need a rust-free driver's complete and shipped to Troy, NY 12180. I've searched Saabnet, Hemmings, etc., and best prices are around $400-$500 shipped, and some show rust starting and covered over on the bottom with fresh black undercoating, so who knows what's under it. Are there any better deals out there, as I am on a limited budget?
This is my third Rose Quartz Metallic 9000 T; I've also owned a 1986 (totaled, but saved my butt), and a 1987 that my wife traded in a few years ago with 187,000 miles- both 5 speeds. My son wants to inherit our 1987, and has helped me research and add go-fast items: bigger turbo, 3" downpipe and cat-free exhaust; bigger injectors, 3 bar fuel regulator, tweaked APC, K&N air filter, etc. Burns no oil, gets 23mpg in mixed driving, and goes like a bat outa hell, so I'd like to keep it going.
I am a devoted Saab nut since the early 1970's and have owned over the years everything from a 2-stroke to a 9000 Aero. I would appreciate any help in locating reasonably-priced front doors for my '87.
Thanks!
