How much of the underneath could you see? I'd say have it, be rude not to at £200, even if its rotten underneath the leather, springs and exhuast must be worth that and more sold on

just fit the 1.9 rear, job done

1.6 has a shorter ratio box, i use one on 205,

gti6 brakes are a good upgrade, but as you have a 1.6 they wont fit, so you either need the 306 gti6 hubs or a set from a 1.9 gti

if you do this you will also need 1.9 drive shafts

after i bought my 205, i found out that it too had been sat under a tree in someone Welsh blokes front garden for nearly 2 years

still a very clean example though, as they dont generally get rust trouble, being galvanized shells (obviuosly still will rust though lol)

get it bought and get an MOT on it mate. it'll cost a few quid to get it up to track abuse though (i expect the suspension will be in need of an overhaul!)
