I ahve had mine since August, and I have needed ALOT more work then you have, and it is worth it to me. A radiator can be patched (hopefully, not always), rust can be removed, and repainted. Brake pads arent terribly expensive. The gaskets you described arent terribly hard to replace, and also pretty cheap (I had to do mine a month or 2 ago). As for the Tie Rod, the door lock solenoid, the speed sensor, and the #2 circuit, I cant tell you about. However, your line pressure duty solenoid is caused by your disconnected resistor, so dont worry about that one. Also, the tire thing could have happened to any car, not just an SVX, so its not really fair to count that one on the list. But you need to decide if its worth it for you to keep it. Yes, it is alot of work, but if you will love the car after that work, then it will be worth it.
I could not have stated that better myself. I have brought several SVXes back from the brink of the wrecking yard. 2 that have been totaled and a couple that have been given up by others. Like it was mentioned before, I would do most anything to keep them on the road. But, that is just me. Needless to say, I have a passion for these cars.
