Not real far from me though.  I would have liked a picture of the rust on the floorboards though.

Yes. It's a unibody, and the "frame" members are loaded in tension. On some of these cars you might see the top and bottom of the boxes gone in and under the front floorboards where the windshield leaked. Thanks to the tension loading, it's not a death knell as long as the sides are solid. If the "frame" isn't sagging, its probably very repairable.
