hello there , having looked at the pictures . I would reccomend the following .

1) remove any loose rust on both area's , treat with rust converter as per their destructions leaflet .

2) for perforated area you ( or person doing work ) will need to cut out rusted area , make replacement oversized piece/s , joggle the panels ( thats making a stepped part to an oversize patch ) & weld in .

simply welding metal over the exsiting crud will lead to a rapid demise of the new sections . I would also aim to treat the back of the affcetd areas with converter as well BEFORE repairing as it makes life easier & you can see more clearly

Once the repair is complete , spray any hidden areas with zinc rich paint & waxy coating .

Looks bad but is easily sorted , you may like to speak to these people / person as they are close to you
