Default 1/4 panel rust (hatchbacks)

just want to know what did you guys do about this problem? i've looked into junk yards but they can't find them and if they do they're usually hit there or rusted out. i need some suggestions cause i'm not paying 500 buks each from HONDA! i'm done with the rest of the car's body except for the panels. Please help with any suggestions. I've already tried cutting it out and patching it but I can't get the contour right.

You can probably just ude some generic sheet metal. My boys' 94 accord was rusted and he just cut off a piece of another car.
