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

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.
