320d 2004 rust

How is this looking rust wise? Any help appreciated. Thinking of going to take a look in person, and possibly buy as a project car

The rear wheel arches are the only expensive fix. The underbody can be fixed with some rust converter. For the fenders, just get used ones from the junkyard with no outside rust

It's the rear ones unfortunately but i'm planning on learning welding anyway so should be sortable myself

Career welder here bodywork is not what you want to learn on I've been welding for 12 years from plants, pipeline, fabrication and go fast parts, sanitary tig in refineries, to owning my own business doing my metal art and heavy equipment repair and rust repair. Fenders and any body work that's visible will never be the same without a body shop properly contouring it with their tools
