HG repair isn't that bad. Commercial jobs usually run $1000 -$1500, but that is due to labor, not parts. I recently R&R'd the HG on my '93 NA. Parts (from site Esponsor) ran about $75 for HG and valve cover gasket kits; I had to run about in search of e16 Torx socket (NAPA) and misc. sealants and antiseize compounds as prescribed by Townsend and TwinSaab DIYs, and I paid a local (Madison) Saab shop to plane the head, ~$75. Add in MB coolant, oil changes, hoses, etc., but disregard the 12 hrs of actual wrenching, and the job costs about $300 total.
It's daunting, but doable.
