I have a 71 MGBGT with lots of interior rust from sitting out in the rain with bad window seals. It's inside now, and little by little I'm working on it (my MGB roadster has priority<G>)
Step one is to get rid of the rust and make sure it won't come back. A wire brush (and Shop Vac) will get rid of the loose stuff. Then I recommend getting the "rust encapsulator" product from Eastwood.com (or POR-15--do a google search on that) which will chemically change the rust from "red rust" to a stable compound that won't spread to other areas. Then give it a top coat of some enamel (brush on is my preference, not spray can).
Two, with the rust and any potentially rusty areas handled, you can either try to replace the plugs or, if the plug is not an access hole (on an old Alfa, one accesses the brake master cylinder fluid reservoir thru a hole in the floorboards), I'd just fiberglass over it. A piece of 'glass cloth and some resin should resolve the problem.
Others may have different suggestions...but this is mine <G>
