Rotor housing ok to use?

I'm rebuilding my brother's s5 t2 engine for his 82. I found one broken apex seal on the rear rotor that didn't cause any damage at all. I also found one broken apex seal on the front rotor that apparently gouged the front housing. I'm not sure if I can still use it or if I should replace it?

Definitely not.

When you're checking housings, anything you can catch your finger nail on is not good.

The pictures were taken up close and it probably looks worse than it is. But I knew it was no good, I was just bummed when I saw that last night. My brother has already started looking for a good housing

Thanks for the help!
