Technical Should I try save one

[Backwards]

Hi there,

I am a little bit of a midship enthusiast weather it's an MR2,mg t/f or a X1/9 but I have very little experience working on cars. I have always wanted a midengine track toy and a cheap X1/9 has come up but it hasn't moved in years and it's rusted af. Floor pan rusted, gearbox is gone, fuel pump gone, sills are rusted, rear arches are rusty but not as bad as sills but the inside isn't too bad as it's been gutted for racing already with racing seats. Seller will probably take about £250 for the car.

Is it worth it to save the car and learn to weld/repair it or should I just spend more and get something else. Completely open but idk this platform and I have never dealt with rust before, is this a good way to learn?
