Sills/Rockers, are not there but guess it could be repaired. Though I have been searching for a set for myself for a while with no luck. Bottom of windscreen looks like a deal breaker? Ian, unfortunately, you would know this better than most and this looks much worse than your example if memory serves me correct.
You can buy those windscreen support struts in the US, I think this car would probably need them.

Apparently the old metal has been cut away and replaced with new metal and welded in place. From what i can see it looks like a neat job but not sure if it will give the right level of structural integrity.
Ian, I would be interested to know how this rust damage compared to the car you decided to scrap.

Here's a new spot on Ebay.
Series 3 in green with grey interior. Doesn't look too good but apparently runs and drives. I have seen worse.
No reserve auction.
The reg no. looks familiar but I am sure Ian will confirm in due course

Not a full spot, but Emma has moved to a new team at her company and had a zoom call to meet the team members, and someone in her team put a picture up of her family's cars, one was her father in laws RX7 FB. Reg C731 CKL, I think grimsby area, Red S3. Might be a new one for the register?
forgot to tag the reg plate in the subject.
