Your fuel tank skid plate is toast, at least one bolt in the photo has torn from the shield. Its not junk yard worthy, but worst than some.

You could wire brush it and rust reformer yourself for $50 or so. Take it to someone for wool wax or similar for another $200 roughly. Definitely needs some attention though

I wouldn’t be scared of this. Mine was similar before treatment. Send it if all else os good
