Default is this a ghetto way to fix this?

ok check my amazing diagram, i drew it, not a digital camera like some of you might think.

anyway, like everyone i have some rust holes about the size of a golf ball in my quarters, would it work to cut the rust out (rust=brown)(blue=cut line), then weld some metal sheet behind it (red=welded plate), then etching primer everything, tiger hair it, then sand everything fluch and even?

also if anyone has any suggestions or better way to do it, something as simular in complication, would be appriciated

If I am understanding you correctly that sounds like the right way to fix it.

Obviously the quarter panels are an issue. I am in the same boat as you and almost everyone else with a honda.
