wow that is a lot of rust. its a lot of work $1500 is pretty good for the labor. new metal is good too.
ting, yes rust is bad, and it can get bad. but its not hard to clean up. There is a few different methods of doing it and it can be not that bad to clean up. But is it also true you will find rust on alot of other parts. exhaust, fuel lines, brake lines. But its not the end of the world. and defiantly not a absute to having to get a new car. The shop was probably taken how much rust is hiding in account when they gave him the estimate, they deal with rust all the time.
I'm sure he has been deciding between moving on and getting a new car or fixing his up. I've gone thru it before with my legend and also choose to fix it. (mainly b/c it was a 6spd). But i had my quater panels fiberglassed. it wont rust for sure.
GL! try and save up some more $$ and get the full paint job, maybe try working something out with the bodyshop.
