Good wire brush and see how bad it is... any perforation and its not really viable to repair...
Treat it with some rust "converter" and paint with a rest preventing paint.. then brush it with waxoyl or similar... Oh worth replacing any of the rubber breather pipes on there too you need 5.6mm (IIRC) NOT 6mm or 1/4"... 5.6mm is Fuel injection hose available at most good motor factors..
Worth checking the filler rubber connector too
