This car has rust everywhere. Even the coat of primer cannot cover it up. If the rear fenders are swiss cheese whats the frame like. Take a look at the heater it looks rusted solid and its in the car. But for the right price someone with new rear fenders, floor boards and metal to rebuild the frame might like a challenge.

Since rust formation is not selective, I'm sure that it didn't stop after attacking the fenders. This car has major rot. Unless someone has the time and abilities to rebuilding everything themselves, you're looking at a $40+k restoration here.

A lot of body panels are quick replacements its the frame I worry about. Especially the perimeter over the wheel. If the fender has that type of rot it suggests the rear frame is gone.

That's exactly what I'm saying. The rust didn't start/stop at the fenders.
