Did you not have a look at this car before purchase?
If you have rust on places you can see, then you more than likely have alot more you can't. I would guess you have real structual problems with rust in this car. If you are not familiar enough yourself to recognize what you have, you better get someone who is. Assuming you get it running you shouldn't drive this car until it has been inspected closely.
