"The engine needs to be rebuilt, the transmisson used to jump out of first gear but the freewheel was working. Chasis has the typical rust issues."
Not sure there's anything "typical" about rust issues... If it's the rockers, get a different car to start with IMO. If it's "just" sheet metal issues, you and/or shop should be able to redo those. I guess it all boils down to your ability, time, & money. I have thoroughly enjoyed nominally "helping" my friend John Collins as we refurbished my '70 Saab 96, but it didn't have much in the way of rust although some holes in the trunk needed patching. Transmission & engine work does require some good expertise to do that well. Make friends with Saabers in your area to get a line on help, else there are some excellent folks available on both east/west coast that would be glad to do the work for you...
