Yep, 240's are notorious for that like the sentras are notorious for door frame rust. What happens is when people go to add brake fluid and let it spill, it goes down the crack of the wheel well and down into the frame where it sits and eats away at the paint causing serious rust issues on the driver side frame. I had to cut mine out and custom cut and weld a frame in. Not a cool job but probably the only way to fix it properly. Otherwise, I'd pressure wash whats left of it making sure you get it from the engine bay also. Once it dries out, use a polyurethane filler to fill in the frame and from the wheel well. Careful though, some have been known to expand the frame itself.
