What happened?
Also £1,000 is the going rate now because of the scrappage scheme: all the old cars have been taken off the market. Supply decreases, raising the price of a working car. 2 years ago you could probably buy this exact car for £250 because there were hundreds more like it around. n fact, the car would have been worth more as scrap (no offence Simon).
As for the rust: grind it back to the bare metal with some really rough sandpaper: remove ALL rust traces. If it's deep you may need a friend with an angle grinder. Prime it and paint it with a couple of coats (rattle can job should be alright because the car isn't exactly in showroom condition anyway :L).
For the stereo, you will have to work out which wire does what and solder a new style plug into the loom (use electrical shrinkwrap around the solder to make sure it doesn't get damaged over time). Shouldn't be very hard, but will probably take a while to do.

Stereo cables:
I've done some poking about and think:
100% sure the grey one is the aerial (I've traced the wire).
The ones with plugs on the end are the speakers (Do the cross over as maybe they have woofers and tweeters in them, and the tweeters are the ones joined together?).
The black one is connected to the cigarette lighter and i assume is earth.
The red one, since it attached to the ignition, is the ignition one, so where is the power one?
Close up of the where the cables connect:
Does it matter how coarse the sandpaper is that i get, i just want to fix the two posts on the roof:
MadMax:
paper 1500-2000 (water) and some putty, and paint that fit rest painting of the car
