if you can do it yourself, you will save a TON of money.
if you took it to a shop, yo figure they would either do that, or just replace the entire quarter panel, and then paint it.
i have two shopping cart dents in my rear quarter panel. i went to get an estimate to either get them pulled out, and also to replace the entire quarter panel. i think the guy said around $700-$800 or so (give or take) to replace the panel and paint it.
your best bet will be to just go to several local body shops and get quotes.

Re: (jaymua)
for the fuel lid I suggest getting a none rusted one from a junk yard. and for the other rust do NOT USE BONDO it will crack and break on you. You're gona have to cut the area out and weld in a new piece this will be your bestest bet.

Re: Body Work Estimate (jaymua)
it would be cheaper to buy another rust free teg than to properly repair this rust, I'm 100% positive that this is not the only rust spot,
get a new car with no rust

Re: Body Work Estimate (exvelocity)
yea but if he can find the rust throughout the car, a shop can patch it all up with new steel for pretty cheap, or about 500 bucks if u can find it all, it takes a good shop no time to patch rust up.
the shop in ohio i went to charged me 550 to patch up 7 spots on my old 4gen prelude, which was as bad as urs, so just ask around
