The easiest...if there is such a word for this repair, is to pull the motor out. Depending on how bad the rust is you may need to remove the suspension.
You can unbolt the front unibody and exchange it out with another car. Try to find one in a junkyard that was hit in the rear and swap out the entire front clip. However unless you can do the work yourself it will cost a small fortune.

In all honesty unless you have a lot of time, money, and room you are better off finding a solid car and cutting your losses. I have seen several of my buddies repair these cars or start the repairs and give up. No matter what, they always say it would have been better to have started with a solid car.

Good Luck
