If that's the case, you get my standard answer to these posts:
If you are planning to PAY SOMEBODY ELSE to work on your 20-year-old car, then a car with a $225 shop-rate probably isn't the right one. Or more pointedly: Don't buy a 20-yr-old-porsche unless you're a DIY-er.
YMMV, BPW.

I actually wasn’t planning on paying anyone to do anything
The $600 for the tank was to knock off the craigslist price if I found it was cracked. $350 for tank, $250 for my personal enjoyment haha.
Every repair would be done by me, as this would be my “first car”.
$400 for the bearing was an overestimate also. It should come closer to $300, right?
I just haven’t found definitive prices for these parts in my research, I’ve been mainly looking for problems in the forums, not per say the cost and/or how to fix them. I’m getting to that now
