How much to get the rust fixed on the Quarter panels??

im looking at being a TII for cheap and everything is in very good condition. The only thing that worries me is this:

the bottom 2

I was wondering about how much this would cost to fix. What would u estimate it would cost to get rid of the rust and then primer it??and then how much more for paint??both sides need some work but the drivers is much worse.

sand it, clean it, treat it. As they say in the military.
Really once corrosion starts, which is right after its
made whatever it may be. The only thing you can
do it try to slow it down.

So sand it till almost or no signs of corrosion are left.
You should be able to get a aluminum corrosion
treatment nearby maybe at a paint shop. If not,
do a good prime job and paint it.. or have it painted.

Sorry didn't look... Was post whoring away. Anyways looks like you could just sand and paint it. I have worked on a few older cars with a lot of rust and trust me... from those pictures it looks like a peice of cake.
