   i would sand it down and apply undercar body seal stuff on it to prevent it happening again. but ask a pro or go to a bodyshop

   Depends how big it is really.
   
   If its a hole or peeled through then grind it all back, weld a plate on and wire brush the rest and use some underseal to prevent and preserve.

   As db-sax says bset cut it out. You can not cure rust so to speak. Get a couple of quotes from local garages and go from there mate.
