The Key word here is RUST,rust on the frame you do not want(surface 
rust is ok,rustthru is not)rust on a Delorean frame,is the kiss of 
Death,or at the least your bank account,it is very time consuming to 
replace the Delorean frame and unless you get the car for a very 
reasonable price it will cost more to repair than to just get a 
Delorean with a rust free frame.I would say pass that car up,if you 
do not know how to work on a Delorean or do not have the tools or 
means to support such a project.
