    Thats a nice colour - my 3dr was originally that colour before someone decided to paint it orange and bodge it up.

    Have you pulled back the front carpet and looked at the floors and where the wheel-wells meet the floors at the front? This is where mine is the worst. Otherwise if you found some new doors it looks like the nastiest looking rust would be out of the way (famous last words).

    It's got perfect seats and a good dash, 89000 on the clock and no rust in the body.

    If only I had a set of doors and guards........

    First if i were you i'd lift the front carpets and with that front wing rusted through at the base i would be very closely inspecting the lower A pillar because if the outer wing is that badly rusted usually the A pillar is just as bad

    Save the bonnet, door locks, good condition Swallowtail interior and put it in a better shell.
