I'd keep the car and fix it up over time, took me two years to get mine done and I'm still not finished.
The rust doesn't look too bad. I say fix it.

Rule #1 - start with the best/cleanest chassis/body you can.
Inspect it better to see just how much rust it's got.....Mtech1 v8 build thread - https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/sho...d.php?t=413205

Like I must have $14K+ in mine including car and paint. Aside from that - interior wasn't ragged/dash wasn't cracked, and body was remarkably solid. When you start going through and replacing all rubber and wear/maintenance items, it adds up fast.
In your shoes, I'd be thinking more in terms of getting it mechanically healthy and using it as a driver/winter car - or maybe have fun with it in terms of sleeper/engine swap car. That or i'd get it running and flip it. Not sure parting it would be worth the time..
