> the rust issues

rust issues on cars are actually caused by water pooling in inside cavities and rusting its way out over time because they don't dry out. water on the outside of a piece of metal isn't really that serious a threat for rusting its way in (you see lots of cars driven for years with unrepaired body damage and they don't rust away)

I don't imagine the rust he saw was bubbling up through the paint from inside, I doubt it's a problem
