Question Find a gas tank, or build one?

Hey all, I have a gas tank that is leaking. 1987 Turbo II lived in Wisconsin, so its rusty. I have three options.
  1. Sand blast it, seal it up, and coat it.
  2. Find another car, take the gas tank out, hope its good.
  3. Build a fuel cell, put it in the same location.
Any input is welcome!

P.S. Everything else is rusty, so if any of you have a no rust chassis laying around...

I had a small pinhole at the top of my tank. It would only leak at high speed cornering. I used JB weld. But before I realized it was a pinhole I assumed the worse. I couldn't find anything in good condition that wasn't an arm and a leg. I did come across this as my Hail-Mary solution.
