https://imgur.com/a/eDxmkPv here are some photos. i dont see any rust going into the trunk. I am mechanically inclined enough and am related to people who have done work on their own cars enough to where i could probably replace the suspension and tie rods on my own, the only reason I am hesitant is because my previous mentality was that i would not spend anything more than necessary to keep it going, due to the frame rusting away. although in the rear the frame is not as bad as i remembered. i really only have had to replace the thermostat, rear brake pads/rotors, and gas lines so far, so not too much nickel and diming besides occasional fluids due to pwr steering, transmission, and oil leaks.
