Hey folks,
Would you guys mind taking a look at this undercarriage and help me understand what I'm looking at / what potentially can be easily fixed with some elbow grease + paint prep + undercarriage spray, as well as what is potentially rusted through and needs an entire replacement?
About to purchase this '14 LX 570 from a friend and wanted to get some help from the community. This has lived it's entire life outside on the streets in NYC and has been driven as a daily work vehicle in all 4 seasons. Most recently, it's been covered in salt/snow/dirt from everyday use. A few weeks prior, the radiator failed, which seemingly caused a misfire, which causes a head gasket to fail, and coolant leaked into the engine, which caused catastrophic failure. A used engine with <60k miles was purchased and on it's way to a shop Toyota / Lexus specialist to install. Car is now in GA awaiting it's new heart.
Additionally, I purchased Slee aluminum skid plates to replace the rusted through covers (at least what I can identify as the corroded OEM sliders, but pls correct me if I am wrong in my identification).

Also, what is the clearly rusted through pipe in the middle of the attached photo? Is that easily replaceable?
If anyone could also share a diagram + component list of the undercarriage components, that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
