Either way (save what you've got or swap over) it won't be cheap. If it were me, I'd look for a good donor body that you can swap everything over to. When a transmission goes on these cars people usually try to onload them cheap. You can get a good-bodied car relatively inexpensively that way. (That's if you're not looking for it here on saabnet of course). If you're not in a hurry, wait for one that you don't have to paint (same color as what you've got).
Basically, painting has gotten very expensive. Welding in patch panels is still a band-aid on a bullet wound, unless the shop you're using is going the whole 9-yards and working the back side of the patch as well as the front. If not, rust can start there immediately and you'll be back here asking about rust issues in no time. Rust is like cancer, you can put it in remission, but you can't cure it.
