Josh,
sounds like you got some good advise about your car, I happen to agree the 900s a classic.
As far as rust, it's hard and expensive to get rid of once it invades your car. Another problem you will find is that a body shop can do a poor job on the body rust, paint over it and you won't see the further damage for another 6-12 months.
To be honest, you should replace the door. Find one at a junk yard, it'll be tough, if not impossible to get completely rid of the rust because it is probably rusting from inside out.
For your rust underneath, you can try a combination of wire brushes or sand blasting to get as much as possible, then prime. I've also had good luck with a product called "Extend". It forms some sort of chemical bond with the rust to slow it down. Sold at NAPA, not terribly expensive.
Don't mean to sound pessimistic, but rust is tough to eliminate.
I would still try.
