Turbo Ford Opinions

If you have an emotional attachment to it, and it's REALISTICALY saveable, IHMO, you'd be a fool not to take your brother up on that offer. If you've described the rust accurately, I consider it a salvagable car.
Option #1: Labor intensive, not realistic, even for an 84 SVO.
Option #2: You may keep the essence of the SVO, but it will never be a true SVO again. Not an option I'd like to take.
Option #3: This is the option I'd personally take. But then again, I can weld and do metal/body work. If I couldn't, I'd learn for an 84 SVO.
Option #4: Only an option for a car that has more rust than body panels left, or a car that some twit has wadded into a ball. Non the option for this car.
