1990 SPG coolant leak.

Hey all,,
In short, My 1990 SPG has finally sprung a leak. After 228,000 miles, my beloved SPG is in need of it's first head gasket. Unbelievable eh?
I was very slowly loosing coolant into one of the cylinders. Detection by my mechanic could find the source through CO2 tests in each cylinder.
In short, the car is sitting for now and awaiting my decision. The job is likely to cost well over $1000 and would also enjoy a steering rack and some other odds and ends. I'd also like to get it repainted it I go through with this and bring the car up to top shape. This car has a maintenance record that wet dreams are made of but I'll likely be putting more money into it than it is worth to bring it up to par. Minus some cosmetic details, this would probably be a great car for a collector because I would let it go cheap but otherwise wild have to sink some loot into it for the head gasket.
Any thoughts??
Thanks-Steve
