Help! Rusted subframe

I just acquired a 1988 Honda CRX dirt cheap and now know why. It appears that a portion of the body pan and subframe are rusting. Is there anything I can do to stop this or correct it? Weld a patch maybe, or should I just dump it and start looking again?

Hope someone can help!

Hey I would atleast try and either fix it or put some rust converter and piant it or just try and sand the rust off. Anything that would atleast make it last a little longer.
