This is not that uncommon. The chassis looks to have a fair amount of surface rust in the pictures. Once disassembled and cleaned up, I would make sure you don't have any structural areas that need reworking before rewelding. That is, maybe you'll need to make some new areas of metal, and add reinforcing pieces. I wonder if it might be better to get good donor pieces off another car?

I would want to understand why this occurred: rust, fatigue, accident damage, or something else of some combination?
