    Looks fairly good to me. Just check every inch of it to make sure there aren't any holes or soft spots. If you do end up purchasing it I'd wire brush it and coat it with POR-15 or at least some Fluid Film.

    Pictures are inadequate for most rust evaluations. You need a physical exam with a hammer, pry bar and borescope.
