S14 new guy, bodywork question

hey im devo, im new. this is actually my first post.

I recently saved up all my money and finally got the car of my dreams, what i've wanted since i was 6. a Zenki S14 240sx LE. I had an E36 before, but hated it. Im in love with this car.

I picked it up for 1000$ and the rails and floors are in awesome condition (its an ontario car)

unfortunately there are two spots on the rockers under the door that are holes. they looked like rust bubbles, so i went to just sand them down and realized that they're all the way through. so now i have an s14 sitting on the driveway with two fist sized holes in the rockers

so i have to weld in some new metal. i've never welded. i've never dealt with metal before. how the fuck am i supposed to do this. Ill post some pictures later on tonight.

zilvia help pls

take it to a body guy/body shop..
if you have no experience welding/body panel repair, then you need a body guy to help you or just take it somewhere...

if it has that bad of rust on the rockers there is more you cannot see......

thanks man. i have looked at the whole car, its just those two spots on the rockers, the floors and rails are looking great. the metal in the areas behind the rockers (where i can see through the holes) are spotless. I'm just going to weld in a new patch tonight wth some buddies and bondo it over, i had to do the same shit in my E36, except these rockers are curved which is whats sorta throwing me off. I dont know if ill be able to get the same curve in the sheet metal as the rockers have.
