Hey Blake,
  Both the broken spring and the bad master cylinder are things you
can fix yourself.  With cars the age that we have, taking them to a
mechanic leads to a short relationship!  I put a re-manned MC in my 86
about 4 years ago.  It pretty easy.  The only thing I would have done
differently is to paint it before I put it in.  Not for a flashy
color, but to keep the surface rust off.  Get a Bentley manual as soon
as you can.
