I'd say it would cost around $4500 to fix the rust shown in the pics.
The problem is there's more than shown. You could probably band-aid the thing together for around half that, to keep it on the road, but unless you take the car apart and fix all the rust, it will come back someplace that you missed. I'm guessing there's corrosion issues in the following areas: firewall, suspension console, sail panels, front fenders. If there are any old repairs, or damage history; NEXT! I'd look for a donor chassis. If you spent $1500 on a straight, bare, rust free chassis, you'd be way better off. Providing you can find one. Fixing the chassis you've got will cost more, and you'll end up with a welded up car. that will rust someplace else in three years. Look at the copper metallic car that recently sold in the classifieds, for example. You'd be better off going that route, and having your old car for parts.
