Getting bummed

I've had this 82 for about a month now and have not had any time to drive it, wash it or really do anything. It has been in the shop for a little over a week and then it came home. Today I took it back to weld up the exhaust leak (which wont seal up I guess due to the old pipe so there goes another couple hundred). I really got under it as he was fixing the hole and found rust in the passenger floor, bottom corner of passenger door and in the passenger fender well. To top that the 700r seems to like 1st gear for a while before it shifts. The rust is not that bad but the transmission is worrying me and the 305 just feels lathargic so I'm thinking a motor swap is in the works. So many little jobs to do on it but I just have to keep on. I think Tuesday is supposed to be nice so I think I feel a cough coming on and may have to rest up that day. OK, my rant is over.
