85 900 spg stolen by meth heads and abused - advice.

So, as the subject line says, a while back my 85 SPG was stolen by meth heads, who also happened to be classic saab 900 aficionados (they stole quite a few 80s 900s). So, some heavy interior cleaning and weird body damage aside - some questions: I had an original Clarion (iirc) EQ in the bottom slot of my dash (above the cubby) - they took that out and destroyed the backlighting for the whole center console (heating, rear defrost etc) in the case of rear defrost, it doesn't work anymore now. Is there a wiring diagram somewhere I can reference? Also, this car has 370K on it, power-steering rack is leaking like a sieve. Power windows are hit-and-miss. Oil leaks from engine (not badly). Radiator leaks (also not badly). This is not all the meth heads fault btw ;) Still, I am a sentimentalist. Not too many snub- nose SPGs around and as rough as it is around the edges, it just starts and drives whenever I ask it to. My main driver is a Jag XJ8, and it certainly does not do that. Is it ridiculous to ask how to wring a bit more life out of this SPG with some advice from you fine folks? It has had a long life and was subjected to god-knows-what by thieves (it worked pretty solid all-around prior), but it still seems so willing. I hate to put it out to pasture, but I can't make it a money pit either...as I said, I also drive a Jaguar. Any advice...
