Well, I knew this car had rot... but not this bad. Should I junk it, or can I pretend this isn't there? How long might it last? lol New England sucks

the rust on the frame doesnt look bad, though i cant see the rest of it.. if the rust is that bad there you probably have plenty more
it probably took many many years to get to where its at now so if you take care of the rust now it could last longer then you

thing that sucks about those areas is its so hard to patch them because of there shape

but anyways if your gonna scrap it lemme know how much you want for it, im not far away :P
