If it's terminally rusty is it worth buying as a parts car?

Are you any good at welding or have a friend who is? Followed by a painter. There is a lot of work in that car.

 

This is why I don't want to pay over the odds for it so need some help on valuing it.

OK mid spec. Alloy or steel wheels with trims?

Steel wheels with trims.

OK that's post the factory shutdown summer 85. Do the seats have stripes up the middle or are they one colour with a Recaro badge at the top?

Just trying to identify if it is last knockings of early spec or mid spec.

Seats are light grey with dark stripes in middle.

Has it got a red or a silver stripe in the bumpers?

Red stripe

Thanks neilsri130

I have now been informed the car in question hasn't been started in 20 years although has been pushed around on drive when its needed to be moved.

The car is totally original and complete however I can see and have been told it has rust on arches and sills.

Not sure on what offer to put forward for something like this and buyer also has no price so will have to check it over and then have a think on price.

Wish me luck

Hi guys 

Newbie looking for some advice on a 1985 mk2 Sri hatch 

Been offered a B reg 1.8 Sri hatchback in red been with same owner for 30 years but not been used for probably best part of 15 years maybe more, car does have rust to sills and arches from and not sure it's a runner yet.

Good points are its been with same owner a long time and has only covered 52k miles also interior is in amazing condition.

What should I be looking out for and what would something like this be valued at?
