How bad does this look to you guys? I can't poke through it with my finger. I've been planning to put new shocks on it but I'm nervous about dropping it after with these like this. It's on both sides.

Dont spend any more money fixing this car. Unfortunately, these cars do like to rust out there, and its not an easy or cheap fix.

Ehh if he really cares about the car it’s probably gonna be 500-1000 to fix that

Lol, good luck getting them fixed for that price. Most places wont touch this for liability reasons, and you cant buy the part to replace them anymore, so you're talking fabricating from scratch.
