I am reading this just shaking my head...

let me explain; I live in the sunbelt, in California. A 'rusty' car out here is one where the paint has been worn through and these a little surface rust. In the rust belt states you guys have to grind and cut back the corrosion so far just to get ahold of some steel that will accept a weld.

It's all a matter of perscpective, I understand how many hours go into rust repair. When you;re done, you have a solid car (more or less) but it's a patch-work quilt with so many hours into it. From my spoiled pespective, I'd pass on amything rusty unless it's a classic collectable worth a fortune when all the metal work is done.
