Depending on how bad the rust is, and if it can be treated. But personally, despite the hard work you've been doing i would probably be tempted to go for a new motor. But first I'd get some idea from a good bodyshop whether it can be treated, how effective the treatment will be, and how much it'd all cost.
Don't know if this helps, but i hope so
