So sorry to see that, I know what it’s like to find unexpected frame rot.
On one hand it’s a huge bummer, but it’s also good in a way because getting into an accident would be kinda shitty.
If you are a good metalworker/welder, and your state doesn’t require a certified welder (or you are a certified welder) you could definitely fix that. But to do it correctly and make sure the frame is straight is a lot of work. And would take a lot of time.
If you have a ton of money into the car, and the car is pristine otherwise, a frame swap may be your best bet like was said above. If you have a lot of money into the drivetrain, you could swap your drivetrain into a different car as well.
In my area, finding a box frame is like finding a needle in a haystack, same with Aeros. Not sure about where you live. You could roll a late model chassis under it, it has been done before.
Again sorry to hear this, hope you get it sorted out
