Rear brake pipe corroded
Parts not expensive but labour to make and fit
n/s excessive corrosion and hole in rear inner sill
o/s excessive corrosion and hole in rear inner sill
Loads
n/s top strut mounts worn + seized
o/s top strut mounts worn + seized
Strut bearing not expensive but needs the struts off to fit
n/s drop link worn
Cheap
n/s bottom ball joint worn
Cheap but a bit more work
both front suspension arm rear bushes displaced
Same as above, wishbone would fix both
rear axle trailins arm bushes worn
Needs a press
n/s/f brake bind possible caliper
Or pipes or slider pins, guesswork
both front brake discs and pads required
Easy
Welding is the worst news, you're looking £500 retail for that list all done, depends who you can get to sort.
What colour is it? I've got four Magnum Thunders currently, one needing a water pump, one needing a clutch, one needing welding and the other which was the best I'm using daily and adding to the 208k mileage

What is the overall condition and mileage on the car?
We've had some hefty repair bills on our cars at the beginning to get them back up together after previous owners had let them go a bit but I look at it this way, ours are in overall good condition with lowish mileage so a £500 bill every year and then trouble free motoring for another 12 months in cars we love is far more economical motoring than buying something else. Although the bills and repairs quickly become much less once the work is done I drive 21k miles a year in my little green one so I expect to have to keep it maintained but it hasn't let me down yet unlike other newer cars I frequently see waiting at the side of the roads for breakdown trucks. Same said for my daughter's although she does less miles.
As for your FRP - it's there to be driven so you could repair the other and drive each on alternate days, whatever, but makes no financial sense taking up loans when you already have 2 cracking cars at your disposal.
