Looks good fromt what I can tell. If its just surface rust there are a few differnt ways to deal with it. Take a few picts of the rust, so I can see what you have.

Do you have a way to spray paint? Primer really,. as this will efect which way you need to deal with the rust right now.

Still looks like a good scrore, you lucky duck :D

Looks like something needs a rino-line, very durable.

If you are going to spray anything and really want to stop the
rust....use phosphoric acid. Get it by the gallon jug (Ospho
Brand...ace hardware). Wash the dirt from the both side....and the
big chunks of rust if you can....then let it dry for a couple days.
Spray it on....let it dry 24 hours....repeat. It converts any rust it
can reach to black oxide...premanently. It will rust no more.

If you want a clean non rusting surface,best bet is to strip that surface.
Muratic acid will totally dissolve all rust it contacts. But...very
quickly afterward, it will surface rust over again.

Thats good...because now, all of the crusty rust will be gone and the
rust will be a thin uniform thickness. Then brush or spray on
Ospho...and overnight, it converts that to an oxide of iron. It makes
a very good primer for painting. It leaves a mottle bluish black
surface. Clean excessive crusty white residue off with any basic
clean drying solvent...like acetone...or acetone and xylene mix so it
does not flash off so fast. 90% isoproipyl will work too. Then...paint
it. Unless you gouge through teh black oxide, it will never rust
again.
