'84 GTS help

Hey what's up.
I'm 18 years old and just bought an 84 GTS for 500$, my first Celica Though I've been a fan for years. Everything works on it inluding all drivers seat functions! Interior is excellent though it needs both engine and bodywork (284000km). It looks nice at a glance but if you get closer the rocker panels are like not even there anymore. I don't know much about bodywork but I have a friend who has welded body panels before and just yesterday I saw these "Do-it yourself rocker panel" type things at PartSource for like 25$. It's just a piece of sheet metal that's already in the right shape. I plan to keep this car until the day I die so when it comes to fixing the rust I won't have any putty or anything like that. If this is a quick-fix type of thing that will rust out again in a year please let me know. Or how should I go about repairing the body ? Also the cluth pedal is very soft, and when you go to lift it, you can't feel the car pull until the pedal's like all the way up. Any clues?
Thanks, Steve
