Looks like bottom had some dryrot even before it happen.
I work with epoxy quite a bit.
What you might want to start with is "laminate" the damaged wood.
Home Depot is selling boat epoxy, what is epoxy in its original form and also packs of fiberglass cloth.
99 cents store sells cheap painting brushes, so get a dozen of them and get plenty of rubber gloves.
If you don't have experience with epoxy -start on scraps.
You will have 10-15 minutes working time before epoxy starts to set, so you need to know precisely what you are doing.
Soak the damaged wood as much as you can.
Once the epoxy sets, you can apply first layer of fiberglass over the wood and plan on doing 2-3 layers. Likely you will have to pull some siding away for it.
