Default 1990 Mustang LX, What would you do?

I picked up a Mustang LX from a guy for what I thought was a great price. Had been sitting for a while but that didnt bother me. I looked it over inside and checked out the engine. Ran great. Has around 45,000 on it. So I look it over better when I get home and underneath the car is pretty rusted out. Floor pans, strut towers, and sub frame all bad. I posted it up on cl to be parted out but I have had a few people tell me that its fixable. Didnt want to dump a bunch of money into. It does have pretty low miles on it and my plans were to garage it for the winter and drop a v8 in it. So now im torn between parting it out and putting money into it.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful.
