POR15... It's all you need (POR = Pour over rust)

Save up some money and take it to the body shop eventually for a proper fix later down the road.

Rust

You need to take the car to a competent body shop and have them sandblast all rusted material away and weld in NEW metal and use POR 15 inside. A small patch will work and try to seal the seam where water got in in the first place. Don't let them just bondo it up or cave and pave with duraglass (beat it in and fill with duraglass or bondo) that won't last long. The metal termites seem to like Mustangs.
