Compression Test Results What do you think

Guy's need your view on these results, is it worth a crack with sea foam or is it fit for the scrapyard?

Front rotor
First chamber
363.29
Second chamber
518.84
Third chamber
385.22
Chamber difference 155.55

Back rotor
First chamber
483.64
Second chamber
556.58
Third chamber
507.7
Chamber difference 72.95

Rotor difference
37.75

250RPM

Any advice welcome, as I'm not great with rotaries

Thanks

Thanks for the honesty, a rebuilds out the question as I managed to get the car for £1300 and won't be spending the £3000 on a rebuild, hoping I can out it on eBay for £800 to someone who wants a project.
I can get it sea foamed re compression tested and the front rotor inspected for £115, should I give it a bash or save my £'s and just out it?
