Rookie Mistake - 1986 Chevy Nova

[BenD.]

Hey, i bought my first car this past week, and when my dad and I looked at it, we thought it looked great! $500 couldn't beat that. 343 000 Km on it .... long story short, part of the frame and floor need to be cut out and re-welded due to rust. I was wondering if anyone had any diagrams or pictures as to what the underneath should be looking like?

Thank you in advance!
also, i know its been asked before, but recommended places to get replacement parts? I like the car to much to just turn around and sell it ....

Too bad, you guys did not check out this car further. If you would have seen the rust on the undercarriage you probably would have passed it. I don't know how easy or even if it is worth it to fix. Depending on how much rust is there, you may just be out of luck in hopes of repair. Sorry.
