So, i bought a project car and it does have a bit of rust here and there... so far this is the worst spot and needs to be cut out and repaired.

I'm pretty much set on the idea of cutting out the affected area that is red and making a new U channel and welding it in as the other areas are basically surface rust (wire wheeled it off this morning) The red outlined area of it has the pitting and such.
However, i've never done much in the way of body work... and since this is a repair pretty much no one will ever see and it's not a show car. i figure this would be the best route... please correct me if i'm wrong.

under the gasket is rust free as well... it's just in that U channel area... looks like a bunch of leaves and such were stuck in there for a very long time.
