As probably one of the few with an even more outdated, higher mileage car I can try and lend some support.
I say if your paint and body work are good, keep her on the road. Most of the things you mention can be fixed with a little free time and used parts. My guess is your rings and bearing are fine, and if anything is using oil beyond the turbo is probably the head (not that it's particularly fun to R&R either).
Get the CPS and tensioner fixed and on the road and the little things taken care of and treat yourself to a detailing and new set of seat covers and I guarantee you'll be smiling.
My paint is shot and rust is setting in, and with the transmission starting to get really loud on the highway I think I'm going to have a tough decision to make soon too.
