      Easy to Fix this Rust?

      Hey y’all, I’m looking at buy a Camaro and here’s a pic of one I’m looking at.
      It’s got some rust spots in the trunk and I’m wondering how easy it would be to fix.
      I understand this may not be enough but just curious with what this picture shows


      the car isn’t near me so I can’t go look at it in person easily, at least not yet


      What do y’all think? Hopefully I attached the photo correctly

      If has rust in the trunk most likely has other places. If the bottom of the car is covered in spray can under coating I would be very wary.
      I would not buy a car/truck that I couldn't see in person first.
      In lieu of that I've contacted car clubs local to the car to do inspections for me. Most were happy to help out for a bit of cash.

      Pretty sure that car will need the trunk pan replaced at a minimum. Most likely the tip if the iceberg. Try to have it inspected by someone who has worked on these cars. Trunk drop offs, wheel housings, rockers and floor pans etc should be inspected as a minimum.

      Thanks y'all
      I would absolutely go see it in person first, just curious about repair if it is indeed just some surface rust.
      Good point about the spray underneath covering up more
      I have heard about inspection companies but I didnt think about seeing if there is a local club with member that truly know these cars.

      Thanks!
