The best way would be to cut out ALL of the rusted out parts and reweld on a new sheet metal. Or you can buy replacement rear quarter panels and have them welded in.

the only way I've ever done...
cut the metal about 1-2" around the rust till all the rust is gone.
Then weld in new metal, shape it till you need minimal bondo, bondo, sand smooth, prime, wetsand, and paint.

http://rustrepair.com/

kind of crappy site, but their products are good. I ordered left and right rear quarter panel replacements for my hatch.

they have a general guide for installing here: http://rustrepair.com/11_steps.htm
Kind of shows you how to do it.

Anyone ever use JB weld on stuff like this? Not sure how it would hold up..

hope that helps
