Find a rust free donor and cut all the stuff out and weld in to your car. Definatly can be fixed.

Shouldn't be too bad, cuts some floor from donor car and replace cross member. Seeing as your at it I would take out the carpet and check for more rust in the rest of the floor.

Re: I know there is no frame but can this be fixed

If you find someone who's parting out a car (local news papers?) find out how good that part is in the donor car. It's usually bad, but if you're lucky... Then just rent/borrow a cordless drill and jigsaw and snag it.

Chances are that part (rust free) will be hard to find. Might be better off hiring Joe blow's mobile fabrication to come over with some sheet metal and whatnot, and weld in new parts.
