Is This Still A Good Bad Idea?

I think the interior looks great for a car thats almost as old as I am. The drivers side is missing the middle moulding, but I was going to remove that anyways. The rear bumper delete is janky and would need to be fixed. There also appears to be some cancer. I asked the seller where it is, but I think I already know - in the footwell in the rear below the jump seat. (Seller just got back to me and confirmed this, but its closer to the hatch, not under the jump seat).

I can do some basic welding and stuff, so I could patch the pan in the back. But I may need a pro body person to dejankify that rear end. Thats money I think Id spend if the rest of the car is solid.

So, for $1500 I still think it might be worth it. What do you think?
