I have seen cars in better overall condition in junkyards in the south than those on the roads here.
When I worked at the Naval Shipyard we encountered severely corroded stuff made of Steel but we did not work on vehicles so no issue with something as delicate as a Brake Line or Hose.

Because of the job description we could not use any welding stuff or torches normally so we were left with Chisels, grinders and saws or we had to file a work order and a few days later the guy would show up with a Torch.

When we had nuts that were badly rusted to studs we used a nut splitter or a sharp chisel to split the Nuts.
