what would you do? (long)

I have a 1987 9000t with just a little over 200K miles on the odometer. A clutch job (minus clutch m.s. which i did myself) in in the near future, engine has an oil leak coming from the seal behind the crank pully, i noticed that the front-most motor mount has a small crack developing in it, the 5 speed gear box leaks but have been told it can be fixed at the time of clutch job, i suspect the rear springs need replaced because the mudflaps rub when i have 2 people in the back seat and i'm turning onto a street that goes uphill, and that's it (as far as i can tell) when it comes to big ticket things. as for little things, the right rear door will not open from the inside, a little bit of rust is appearing along the trim piece (both sides) in the rear wheel arches, and to top it all off, some cretin snapped my antenna mast off a little while back. now, i'm not totally inept when it comes to working on the car myself, so i think i can handle the motor mounts and oil leak, and the little things i just need to make time for. but i guess what i'm wanting is advice. i love the car, it runs incredibly well, hauls me, my girl and our two dogs plus camping equipment and such, and i just don't want to part with it. sorry for the long post, but i've been doing a lot of thinking about it lately. thank you for anybody's input and advice.
