Cut it out, weld a plate back in and make it like new. my best guess...

I think there is like a paint or something im sure i saw that "kills" rust. try that?

Must be keeping you awake. It's 2.33 am and your thinking about rust lol lol.
If you wanna hold it back a bit for now get some stuff called kurust by Hammerite. Paint it on and it causes a chemical reaction and in 3 hours rust has turned black. Ideally cut it out though mate and do it proper or it will come back and bite you in the arse.

This stuff is a good measure, fully tested it ourselves, appears to does what it says on the tin.

But as said before, cutting out & welding a new bit in is the final solution.

Don't feel dismayed though, as a great man once said-

Filler, it's the last part left standing in the scrap yard after all the tin has rotted away
