Mk1 project has been slow, eventually I pulled out all seat and carpet.
This is how it looks, do you guy think I should continue or dump it to junk yard ?

Folk in the UK would stop due to a bit of rust. I have repaired worse than you have there. See how bad it is once cleaned up properly, the wheel well is a common problem.
Maybe try and get a section from a good well to weld in. Same with the floor if it looks really bad.

time for a wire brush and much time me thinks.

What rust? I can't anything in those shots to be worried about. It all looks like surface rust.
I can see a perforation in the spare wheel recess but I personally wouldn't worry too much about that it's fairly easily fixed and not structural.
For a daily hack I'd just glass it if you don't have access to welding gear, The key is to stop the leaks that caused the rust in the first place.
My 2cents worth

Yeah I have repaired worse mate.
Wire brush, or drill attachment, the some rust proofing paint and some fibreglass filler.
A hole in the middle of the wheelwell is a good idea to let the water out.![]()

stop?! gah.. never! well maybe sometimes, but not in this case! my four and a half cents - wire brush to get rid of surface rust, sand, poly filler of sorts if needed, rust kill paint (or similar) and she'll be sweet i'd say
