144 MOT failure for sale

My Volvo 144 de-luxe saloon 1973 has sadly failed its MOT due to chassis rust.
Don't want to just scrap it, any offers?

Seems a shame to scrap her as it looks like a nice car from the pictures.

How bad is the rot or is it too expensive to repair? Do you not know someone that could tackle it at mates rates?

Hopefully the car will be saved. It looks far too good to scrap (unless that's a 20 year-old photo!).
