Yea its not worth 400 but its not scrap
Scrap value is all it's worth, but I'm not saying it can't be saved with enough work.
but anyone who's bought a car with that much visible rust will tell you that there is much more to come.

We stripped it, it HAD to be scrapped, was too far gone.
No-one is saying defiantly don't do it, just don't pay a penny over the original offer.
