Help me please :( Holes in Tank

[Kant]

Hi,


My nice Porsche 944 from 1983 that I like soooo much is getting me into many troubles... actually the previous owner is!

This f*** stupid guy digged some holes in the filler pipe and IN the tank, in order to fix some sound system!! I removed the sound system, fix it in a nice way, brought my car to the mechanic in order to get an estimate of the cost ... and it seems that they will have to drop the tank, clean it, fix it, put it back... all of this for $1200 ! I already spent $1500 for a new clutch, so I am a little bit afraid of spending again some more money... specially (as you may have read it on another topic) as I feel like I am gonna have to change suspensions and flywheel one day or the other ...

Any suggestions ?

Should I get rid of this car ? But I like it, that's the pb ...

Should I get a new tank? Would that be cheaper than cleaning and fixing the current one ?

Does anybody knows somebody around San Jose, CA , who could help me doing this, or do it for a cheaper price ?

Thanks all,
