How would you go about trying to repair these two rust problems?

Door jamb IDK

Rear 1/4 cut out old rusty metal and weld in new. Just make up a patch panel and stich weld it in. a little at a time to keep the heat down to minimize warping. Mig is good for it
 
I would do the same with the door jamb cut the old rusted area out make a new one from some sheet metal unless you can find a parts car to cut one from and weld it in. just be sure you spot it in then test the door to be sure it is aliened good if you end up having to cut the hinge area out.
 
hay sal,

there are 2 ways that , i can think of , one way is to of course take the door off and cut out the rust get a clear piece and weld ( i know you know that) that would be the for sure way to get rid of it.

the 2nd way would be to get some POR-15, not sure if your familiar with it?
if not here ya go POR15, Inc. - Stop Rust Permanently - Repair Gas & Fuel Tanks they sell a starter kit, which should be enough for what you need, i used it on my car. in your case grab a steel brush so you can knock off as much rust as you can, ( not to hard -you know what i mean , enough to knock off the surface rust ) then you get the marine clean degrease, then spray on the metal ready cleaner liquid it comes with let it dry and then brush on the por-15 . they might have a catalyst
which helps it dry quicker( ask when you order ) anyway the kit goes for $20 bucks, I am an elevator mechanic and we use it on the outdoor escalators
and we have not seen rust on them, i have por everywhere on my car just in case. the por is black so on the underside you can't even tell. I hope this helps, i can say it does work, some say no, but applied the right way worked for me. just prep the rust spot first.
 
Wow, door jamb area is scary. 10 bux says its a ttop car. :eek:

Cut and paste, section in good donor metal in the affected areas sir!
