time for a complete tear down, couple cans of aircraft paint stripper, pressure washer and sanding,
or have it sandblasted.
then self etching primer and automotive paint, or have it powder coated.

I've seen and worked on worse

PB Blaster every bolt and nut a day or so ahead of time and let it do it's magic breaking rusted threads/nuts loose and don't be afraid to hit it with some heat to swell things up and break them free.
6 point wrenches and sockets are your best ally here !!!

Ok cool I will try my best at doing this thanks for your help. Also do you think it’s worth it to get a new back brake?

No matter how you prep the framebe careful not to destroy the VIN number. As mentioned use aelf etching peimer.

Have also seen where Vin is only clear coated with powder coating because of thickness
Also phosphoric acid will turn the rust into a ceramic type substance. Still have to remove loose scale. Hardware store or auto paint supplies.
