Default JUST BOUGHT ME A CRX! NEED SOME HELP PLEASE

Well i'll give you the story first...

my friend tells me he sees a crx for sale for 425 so i get all excited and go look at it sure enough he was right the only problem was the rust...so i go back get my dad and we test drive it and engine was great(even thoguh i plan to swap still good to have back up) so we talked and i ended up buying it for 375.

Now the help i need is how do i go about getting rid of the rust?
there is some all around but i don't mind working hard to get rid of it... i also plan to paint the car after i get rid of the rust so any help would be appreciated thanx

sorry about length of the post

EDIT: It was a 88 CRX HF with 147k
i'll get pics soon

Before you start, Look really really good under the car. I have seen them rot toward the front, buy the floors, and also the back wear buy the suspension and bumpers, check that out first before you get started
