Is this car too far gone with rust or salvageable?

If the back end looks like that, I can only imagine what the strut housing looks like.
Can you get a pic of that?
Either way, it doesn't look good.
If this is a truck you're thinking of buying, I'd walk.

Here are some photos of the strut housings (not the greatest). This is a family car that came out to California from Missouri and I'm trying to determine whether its worth putting any time into.

That front lug on the lower trailing arm in your bottom picture (top set) looks pretty bad to me but I cant tell exactly what it looks like.

Those rear control arm bushings are gone :chuckle: If you do end up getting it, get the bushings replaced pronto.
