1) How do I tell whether my struts are "serviceable"(replaceable shock cartridge) or "nonserviceable"? Or should I just buy the complete (nonserviceable)strut ass'y?

2)Anybody know where I can buy Monroe or any other brand of "Quickstrut", complete spring/strut/shock/strut mount for this car?

3)I used to see strut tower braces available all over ebay for this car, but now that I actually want to do front end work...nuthin!? Any leads for this?

Thanks, all

I think if you go to Auto Zone they will loan you a strut compressor free if you return it in a reasonable time. I would check what brand of struts they sell as I assume the loan is based on buying their parts. This is probably going to be your cheapest option.
