I am rebuilding a 1992 Metro with a burnt exhaust valve that is in far worse shape than your car. I am using the opportunity to make it better on gas with modifications to the engine and a swap to a 5 speed transmission with a taller final drive than stock. Your problem is simple by comparison. Plus, I don't even have a job that pays all that well ( I deliver pizza) but I will still get it done.

(Note: the car sees 100% city driving and is EPA rated at 37 mpg city)
