i'm restoring my hatch as we speak. i had mad rust in my rear quarter panels and inside the frame cause my car came from the east coast. If you plan on doing it right you will have to chizzle and cut out the rust spots and use fiberglass mesh strips and bondo to reconstruct the damaged area and blend it in. so far my hatch is turning out pretty well. it's a lot of work but coming out nicely

if you just use bondo it will come back. you have to cut it all out and weld something in there. take it to a body shop. do not spackle bondo in there yourself.

Use very little amounts of bondo if thats what you plan on doing.

Should look good as new if you do it right
