Might be treatable. Always worth going at it with an angle grinder to get all the rot off to assess the damage before cutting bits out.

if it is a mk3 fiesta as i suspect, it will be rusting from the inside out so it will really not be worth painting the outside.

you will need to get a repair panel and have that fitted
