that’s your lower radiator support. hope no one has driven the car in this condition...
you’ll need a lower radiator support (assuming the frame rails aren’t rusted to shit as well), probably tension rod brackets, a tetanus shot, maybe struts and a trip to the frame puller if it’s been driven around like that.
a better option would be to get your money back and buy a less rusty pile of shit

nah pull all the panels and top of the body off, build custom tube frame and put all the body on that!

good lord. if the rad support is THAT rusted out, chances are a lot of the REST of the chassis is rusty as well.
the rad support is replaceable as long as you have a decent fabricator at your disposal.

there are reinforced ones available too, or you could remove the entire front radiator support and go tube frame, but that's a large amount of fabrication

I would check to see how far that rust goes before investing in fixing that, chances are if is that is rusted so is your frame rails, floor boards, and even rear sub frame...
might not be worth fixing.
