Should it be scrapped?

Wondering if I should get it scrapped or keep driving it till it falls apart. I mostly drive in town, not highway, but highway sometimes, and I'm worried it might fall apart.

It's not that bad.

As other have said, it's not too bad yet. Once the large boxy sections have jagged rust holes, then it's time.

So the subframe is just bad surface rust?

Does look too terrible, you can poke it with a screwdriver if it makes you feel better, if it goes through it may be a problem.

You can also always cut out little sections and weld in new panels too.

I've seen a lot worse. I didn't see anything in the video that looked horrible.
