Once I see bondo and painted duct tape on a car I just walk away. Save your money that you are planning to spend at a quality body shop and put it towards buying a car with a solid body.

To fix the rust you could get a hack job with bondo or pay more and get metal. You can also get a car sprayed for $200 at a bargain shop or add another digit for a paint job with some more quality.

Hows the frame rails on the car? isn't that the prone spot for rust?

surprisingly framerails and the frame itself and underbody are mint

You have to remember that you can NEVER fix rust...

you'll spend quite a bit of money trying to make the car look decent when you first get it, but the rust like a cancer will always come back.

It's not worth it if u want a nice car that you're planning to keep for a while.
