Sadly if the tin worm is extensive then even if getting it welded you will probably re-welding again in a few years in other areas as well as welded areas. Had a 1989 240 outriggers welded and 2 years later rusted out on the weld seam!

Mechanically everything is fixable, bodily less so.

I would look for a late 98 940 with a good body. All will have some rust but hopefully treated and looked after.

If you have a drive, buy yourself a welder and get practising. Wishing you well. They are a good car.
