Looks from your pics that there may be a fair bit of work there, but nothing that hasn't been attempted before, I guess if you really want one, then you will do it

Always looks worse with the car being white. Fix it

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

The rust looks superficial to me; no big gaping holes as far as I can see.
Restore it. Too few of them left to let it go down without a fight.

Rust stands out more on white cars because white naturally reflects more light, hence it's a bright colour and any imperfection in the paint shows up more than on any other colour I'd imagine. Especially where you have water dripping from a rust patch and it leaves a trail, making the situation look worse than it is.
