Its a big job if you want to do it properly (engine out, Antiroll bar off front panel off etc) you can bodge it but its looks nasty and itll just rust again, best to stick a new front end on while you have the welder handy

If its got a good body then it'll be worth it if you do it right

Bodging it is not the answer ive seen this done and is a: not a pretty sight and b: itll just rot out even more
