I was being sarcastic earlier but I had a similar decision to yours and pulled the trigger because I planned to replace most everything anyways.
The “rust-free” on mine was far from true but nothing insurmountable just so body spots I will have to pay to have repaired/welded
If you love it go...
That thing looks like shihhhhhh. This is coming from someone who bought a “zero rust” (bahahahahaha) sight unseen. I’m gonna save her though and wouldn’t be opposed to you saving this one. Caveat emptor…
