About to close on Cherokee 235, found skin corrosion. Is this a deal breaker?

Hello friends. First time post here. I am in southern California doing a prebuy inspection on a 1963 Cherokee 235 with my IA friend. He found skin corrosion in the wings and on the floor under the battery area. Some corrosion where the supports meet the skins also. Pics attached. Any advice? Would this be a deal breaker for you? The rear spar on both wings was recent replaced due to corrosion.
