None of that looks structural. I'd do what I did with the 190D 2.5. Great drivetrain and great interior but we are totally fine with the idea of ultimately scrapping the shell. So I got out the trusty harbor freight welder and my metal forming tools and patched up the bottom as best I could. Keeping water and salt out of those non structural holes will give you years and years until it becomes structural. Then just undercoat the hell out of it.
those aren't proper fixes but if you've resigned yourself to ultimately changing shells, you can put it off for 5 years that way.
