I just did the other side... the one it normally occurs because of the battery vent... and I just went to NAPA and got a Fiberglass Repair kit. Comes with a can (maybe a Quart?) of Resin, Activator, small mixing tray, Mixing stick, trowel and a pretty large piece of Cloth for about $28. All you need is a little Plastic sheeting or Wax paper and your off. You need to clean and rough the metal and dig out the rusty lose stuff and form it carefully around where that normal drain hole is to direct it down to that again. Wear some Nitrile Gloves. Protect the car surfaces and things around it. Do a couple layers of Resin soaked cloth and criss cross layers if possible.
