Now that she's getting a new turbo, how about some of these
and a little of this
It doesn't have to be fancy, Rustoleum can be shot to look good.

Suspension and steering components are fairly tight. I've kept up with such things through the years. The upper ball joint boots have ripped, however, so it's just a matter of time before they'll need replacement again. As for paint, maybe just a coat of clear, no?

The 'ol craigslist restoration.
Whatever stops the real rust is what's important. On that note, I think I just inherited a Studebaker with similar paint...

Years back, we brush painted a certain GMC truck with RustOleum. Looked better than you'd think!
OP
My uncle once bought a Maverick Grabber late at night, only to discover the next morning that it had been brush painted. He wasn't as okay with it as you were with the GMC.

The poor old Jimmy was a rust bucket - like most 6066 trucks were. Best thing we could have done with it - brush painted it school bus yellow.
Two reasons I would think I don't like that car:
1) It's a white car and I grew up in a house with well water that had a decent enough amount of iron in it that all three porcelain sinks, the tub and both toilets had multiple rust stains.
2) The overuse of chrome bling started in the 1950s and i realized I'd had enough by the time I was old enough to drink.
Anyway, I LOVE THAT CAR because the white paint doesn't let the chrome stand out to me like a sore thumb, and it doesn't look like every white toilet car i grew up seeing here in the rust belt.
The water where I live terrible too. it's a community well and they treat it with something that just makes it stain stuff. Can't tell you why but I have started liking White vehicles more as I grow older.
And yes I'm not a Chrome person either but this one is well done.
A nightmare. I think it was rust on his favorite car that made Michael Myers so mad in the first place. One little rust bubble on Christine....
