Looks like you have some small holes. You can cut around the rust hole into the good metal and then weld a patch in its place. There might be some alternatives, but that is a common approach. For the surface rust that hasn't rotted away too much of the metal, I'd just wire wheel that and then cover it with POR 15. The body of my car looked just like that when I got it.
