rusted-out
Eaten by rust
Rusted-out describes something so corroded by rust that it has deteriorated beyond repair or use, often with holes eaten through the metal: a rusted-out pickup truck on blocks, the rusted-out hulk of an old ship.
The term emphasizes complete structural failure rather than surface rust.
