Default Some advice***pics***

thinking about picking this Nova up but I don't know too much about body work and rust other than i know it can ruin your day.... based on these pics do you guys think I should be worried? or some common rust on the corners? When I go and look at it anything in particular i should look out for (other than the norm) Any advice would be helpful thanks.

looks worse then the one my brother sold off to a guy from the back, I can't make the side pictures big for some reason, what you need to ask yourself is how much money are you willing to drop on paying someone to fix and repaint all these areas, because likely depending the condition of the trunk, floor and rockers could potentially exceed the value of the car.

here is some advice, get us BETTER PICS!!!!!!! lets see underneath it.

Couldn't get the last 2 pics to pull up. But rust is like roaches, there is always more than what to see. bad rust up high can mean water has run through the inside of the body & the lower sections can be rusting out from the insides. The car really needs to be looked at from underneath. All those misc internal metal braces can all be worse than imagined.

Here's a pic of an 83 el camino someone let sit up for years in their yard. Looked great 300' away . we were cutting on it for a science project. Over half of the internal door brace at the door handle area was completely missing, as were the entire door bottoms & 80% of the floor pans.
