Rotten strut wells

Hi,
Here's the problem, the base of the 2 front strut well was pretty rusted, and yesterday it ripped =(
I can now clearly see inside the engine bay from outside. There is now a huge weakness in the part of the frame that holds the strut, and I would believe that this part of the frame has bent enough to lower the front of the car a couple of inches.

My questions are:
Did this already happen to somebody?
What would you do in order to fix it? (buy and grind off a old strut well form a junkyard?, weld new metal sheets over it?)
I will post pictures as soon as I have a camera.

Thanks in advance
