Icon3 87 civic DX rusted rocker, advice

Well, it happened...

I took her in to a mechanic buddy to have him look over the cv axle & output seal job to make sure everything is in order.

When we put it up on the lift, one of the lift arms sunk through my civic's left side rocker in front of my wheel well.

I'll try to upload some pics.

For now, I'm planning to clean it up with a steel wire brush, spray on rust bullet, & spray some POR 15 chassis spray just to keep it from getting worse.

My friend said to just patch it up with fiberglass, but I don't want to just cover the problem...

I don't know how to weld now, but I'm willing to learn... This is my daily driver, so it's alright with me if it doesn't look show perfect, I just don't want to lose a great car to the silent killer. what's the good word?
