Question Need help with rust on bottom of 2000 xj door

Well I recently received a 2000 XJ and it has minor rust on it except for on the bottom of the doors. I'm not sure how to handle it. My father said I could use bondo on it after sanding it but the rust damage is pretty significant. He also suggested I could use Tiger Hair which could possibly be easier. What should I do, and could you tell me how to do it? Suggestions? Help!! Pictures are below, sorry for the bad quality.

Hard to tell what color it is in those pics... If it's a common color, just get better doors from a junk yard. Faster, easier, will last a while. Permanent fix.

Just Run 'er. Thats what Im doing. I have the same issue. With my luck I'll replace the doors with nice shiny ones, then take a deer to the side or something. I'm just going to run them until I start getting muddy shoes.
