Well the failure points aren't too bad, except the exhaust I guess - that depends on the extent of the rot.
The advisories aren't too bad either - except the oil leak - that depends on where it's from. Could be something cheap and simple, at worst the rear main crank seal - which will cost £15 plus around 8 hours labour!
Depends on the general state of the car as to whether it's worth doing.
If you're not sure about the LPG then you need expert help - try contacting classicswede on here for starters. He might be able to help indentify the system you've got, then take it from there.
