I'd say repair it.
Having said that... My Mk1 (just a standard one nothing special) is getting broke and scrapped because the rust/corrosion was epicly bad. I'll get some pictures done later.
Whereabouts is the rot? Post some pics? Anything can be repaired

ditto Repair it mate, look at the silly price rotten SR's are selling for...
As a warning to others attempting to repair rot boxes I will post recent MOT failure list and estimate to deal with (which i am expecting later this week)
Thats where it gets expensive< you need to either do the work your self< or a close friend will for mates rates etc..
self - not a chance of that
mates rates - has been tried - work out badly
the intention is the garage will do only as surplus staff available to keep costs to a minimum.. but at least i know it will be done right if car is repaired
Update 02/12/2011 - Major repairs commenced - estimated date of completion February 2012 !
photos of progress to 14 January 2012 as below

Looks like they're doing a thorough job and not just putting some plates over the rot, nice one for saving it.
Looks good Pal, there can't be many genuine 1.4 Sr left in white either.
