new '85 T16 - anyone ever change the hood?

Hi,
I asked earlier about the hood problem on my new 1985 T16, which I picked up last week. One side of the bracket/hinge is completely broken off, and the other side is barely holding on by a thread. It's a real pain to open, and esp. to close, getting the little wheels lined up in the tracks.
It does sound like a common problem for this age 900, so I'm sure I can find another hood, but how DIY is this job? I haven't looked closely at how the hinge/bracket connects at the front, or how the cable attaches...things like that. If it's a big job, I might pay my local Saab mechanic.
btw, here are a couple pix of my new baby (top of the page):

Any tips on the hood replacement much appreciated!
Thx,
-jw
