Too much rust?

[jhashey]

Checked out a 2001 bus. Body was decent but a little worried about the undercarriage rust. What's your thoughts?

Expected from the northeast or too much?

Hard to tell from the pix but it looks mostly like typical surface rust. Get under there and poke around with a screwdriver. If it goes through a frame rail...that's a bad sign.

I wish my rust looked that good when I finally got under mine. I had large chunks of rust+underbody coating falling off when I started scraping. Under my front dash, the whole floor was rusted through. Never quit! ;)

Dude, I live in the rust belt of Ohio, and that ain't rust. People here call that rust free , until you have holes the size of basketballs. lol

Got my bus in Tucson. After watching my trucks disintegrate in Hawai'i (salty air, acid-rain from the volcanic emissions), any rust is too much rust for me.

IMO its too much rust, but there will be a ton of varying opinions depending on where one is located.
I guess I'm picky!
