There is a lot more rust than you're seeing here and it IS a part of the structure. You can save a lot in the welding if you clear everything out of the way and clean off the metal back to clean virgin stuff. Then the welder can just fit and weld the patch so you don't have to pay to have the grunt work done.

Good luck!
