rusty near the wheels, but wire brushing took most of it off. the suspension bumpers are totally rusted out, and may have made holes in the frame, but definitely fixable.

stabilizer bar looked good originally, but upon closer inspection was really pitted under the bushings. But I couldn't find a replacement bar that was cheap, so painted and kept this one
