I got this $400 X wanting to learn how to weld with it in service of restoring it, but I don't know if I want to spend a ton of time doing that if ultimately the car will never be roadworthy; or if fixing this level of rust is way beyond a beginner's capabilities. Any thoughts? I'm wondering if just taking it apart, and that experience gained, is the most I should shoot for.
I have an '83 in storage in much better shape rust-wise, but it has a small dent in the front fender, and the driver's door doesn't close all the way, seems like some impact affected the frame. I was imagining I could get the frame stretched on that one, and then work on getting it running? I've got one bay in the garage to work in.
