Unless you got the car for free, you're unlikely to "break even" on it when selling it if you've done much more than oil changes. Cosmetic and mechanical problems drop the value even more, rust makes it more or less scrap value or maybe slightly more to the right buyer. This car looks to have pretty major cosmetic problems on the driver's side, so factor that into your expectations.
Yes, paint is rough on the driver side- then I think... should I just get the whole car painted? Not a show paint job, but a driver quality one... but I fear going farther down the "more money lost when selling" hole.
