Default imput on Quarters on this 300 doller beater i bought

lookin for some imput as i've heard a few differnt opinions on options available

moral of the story is...i bought this car off a friend who made a big mistake a couple years ago painting this thing pink...its horrendous but i'm hear to fix it...

basically the car is pretty sound looking all the way around aside from the obvious honda rust in the corners...and up on the top in one of the rain gutters

i just wanna know if this is salvagable metal or should i buy a new rear quarter and have it welded....

i don't really need this car to be all out showy nice...i wouldn't really even care if i didn't have to paint it..but its pink so its gotta get something... plus i've always wanted an 92-95 hatch thats pretty clean lookin

any imput is appreciated...

Drivers side rear


Drivers side lower down by sideskirt


Passenger side upper lower is perfect actually


rain gutter which i'm sure is an easy fix...but hell imput just for kicks


and i forgot...here is a pic by the rear hatch where clearly its been hit or something..dono the story...how can this be fixed..body filler?
the whole quarter doesn't looked moved or outta place...its weird i think its just dented


Thanks guys help me revive this car...it runs perfect its sad

if you take out your interior panels and look from the inside you'll get a better idea of how bad it really is
