buy some prestone super flush, the kind for "NEGLECTED COOLING SYSTEMS" you'll have to read it carefully cause there are two flushes that look the same yet one if more concentrated.

mix it with pure distilled water, use the car for a week or so(about 6 hours worth of driving) and replace thermostat, hoses, and flush completely... refill with desired coolant,either pure distilled with water wetter, or 50/50 premixed.


if all that doesnt work then the rust damage is too great and you're just gonna need to replace it
