My advice, leave the skirts on... Ignorance is bliss, a big welding bill isn't. 
I've seen W reg cars with less miles rust through the rear arch so don't assume rust won't have got hold of the 'newer' 306s. That said, I've broken 5 or 6 now and not seen one rusty sill myself!! Rusty rear arches and chassis legs yeah but not sills.
You really should get a liner in the front, not only for rust (which happens from mud/salt build up so won't be apparent until it's too late) but it could be wrecking wiring/plugs as well.
