Default RUST 89 GT

I just bought this foxbody for 1700 bucks. Its not perfect, but was the best deal i could find on a fox in my area. Its a hatch, 5 speed, and its in decent condition. The only problem is there are rust HOLES about the sized of nickels on both sides of the windshield. Its not huge, but its rusted through. Would this be hard to repair? Or.. should i just sell the car and make a few bucks off it profit and just find another foxbody to restore? Thank you.

in my advice (ive been where u are) save your money have the car stripped and ALL the rust fixed with welded in metal patches and get a nice paint job, dont just grind the rust away and fill it with bondo mine had holes all around the sun roof my hatch literaly broke in half towing it home and the antenna hole was rusted to ****
