From the pics, it looks pretty bad. I'm going to say it's probably going to cost you a lot to restore it to a show-quality condition without it falling apart. Almost to the point I'd say it's not worth the effort- but restoration is a fun challenge, no?

Good luck.

Alot of it looks like surface rust to me and not that bad at all. I'm more worried about the damage behind the drivers door. That is going to be a BITCH to get strait. It's fun, and it's going to be time consuming but in the end if done properly, it's going to be rewarding. Rust repair isn't all that expensive from a materials standpoint. It is costly from a time standpoint. But if you're looking for a show quality car, the chances of finding an FC in that condition are slim to none. So even if he got a new shell, he would still be looking at the very real possibility of paint/bodywork.
