hi rob ,the floor is already painted and was no rot atall ,as was the boot floor .
im going to bare metal it anyway and make sure theirs no rust lurking under the paint
inner wings are solid ,boot floor good ,battery tray good .the car is pretty sound all round .
the reason the front looks so tatty is the guy who owned it was driving it up and down a 4 inch kerb and it kept banging the road
but i love s1,s
so will be worth the effort lol
