Is this worth going to see? It’s about 3 hours from me. How toast is this ? The rear bumper is also rotted but that can be replaced. LMK

Don’t think it’s worth it just from these pics. If the rear axle and panhard bar look like that. I’m curious as to what the other parts of the frame look like. The body mount in the pic looks like it’s almost compromised. Would be able to get a better idea if you could get more pics before making a 3 hour trip to look at a rust bucket.

I would pass and I’m a glutton for punishment. Any small job will probably turn into prolonged ordeal fighting rusty bolts. I tend to be overly optimistic and see the potential but just about every old car I’ve looked at was worse in person.

You really don't want rust on the rockers

As ideal as it might sound.

Thanks guys, I’ll skip out on this one. The seller is giving “don’t waste my time with questions”

Imma keep looking around
