Body mount rust
On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being no rust; 1 being the worst, whatcha think?
It’s a 75, owned for 10 years, never given me a reason to think there was rust, so I’ve never checked
Passenger side, mount behind kick panel

I’d give it a 6 or 7. Certainly can be contained at this stage.

I'd get one of those USB cameras (they're cheap) and eyeball upwards also

but most of us would have bought this car knowing that level of rust. it matches my 75 pretty closely. no more driving behind the salt trucks in winter, ok?

You don't really know extent of damage until you take them apart. BYITA rust will be between mount cushions.
