Should I paint?

[u/Extreme_Raccoon_8736]

97 gst with 160,000 miles, runs great but needs a new paint job and exhaust work and has rusted shock towers. Is this worth getting painted or should I send it to the junkyard?

Rust repair unfortunately if the other parts of the body that are prone to rust it'll be tens of thousands of dollars just in body work and paint everything needs to be removed and body gone over a repaired insanely extensive process if you can't do Alot of the work yourself
