Engine rebuild it going to be more than that if you are paying for labor on it. Probably closer to $15k these days.
Compression test is a good start, but SCs are known for breaking case studs. Part of a PPI on it should involve removing the valve covers and testing the studs.
Even if the brakes and shocks are good, it will likely need a ton of bushings.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm relatively mechanically minded, is it a simple job?.. I've done a rebuild before (on a Miata engine) which was easy enough.
How much should I be looking to pay for a PPI? I assume several hours labour... 5?
Say the suspension was trashed, how expensive is upgrading to coilovers? Not worth it?
