Have you tried using a wire brush/wheel to try to get some of the rust out. My WHOLE interior was rusted (thank god only surface rust) but I ended up stripping the whole thing w/ a wire brush/wheel. It just goes on the end of a drill. You should try it out. It will take it down to the metal. But if its as bad as you say it is, than just forget it and get new ones.
