Help: I need quick and dirty rust repair

So I bought this Aerostar. I knew it had some rust. I started picking at some of the rust in the door frame and a rather large hole appeared.

Now I don't want it to be something my foot gets stuck in!

Is anyone on hear a body repair person? If so can they help me out for a little money? I don't need it to look great.

Duct tape and spray rubberized undercoating over it, worked on my ranger.

Not sure what the joke is here :? Did Pat move to Canada or Little Canada?

Either way I made my own dirty fix with:
underbody treatment (sprayed inside rocker panel),
Rust Encapsulator (sprayed on the visible rust)
Aluminum Sheet metal (Patch to cover the hole)
Metal Epoxy (glue patch to solid part of door frame/rocker panel)
and then some Rubber Stick-on Step Grip (To make it look decent) sorta :shock:

Thanks anyway

I'm not sure you're serious about wanting to see pics. I feel cyber-autistic. Oh well, here are some pics I just took with my iPod.
