1) go to shop
2) pay to have metal welded in place
3) paint
4) done

That looks too severe for fiberglass and bondo

ya that is like the rust on my accord i had, if u really want to do it, go to junk yard cut a decent size quarter panel out, if u have a friend that can weld GREAT, if not jt cut that off and align it best u can, and this is the most GHOTTO [freak]ED UP thing u can do but for no tool and knoeldge of welding, take couple screws and screw in ur new panel 1inch overlap ur old panel, assume all rust is out, then u bondo on the open area, and then primer -use the rust prove one

then u bondo till its even, and paint it

THIS IS GHETTO!!! i never done it but seen a friend done it, it looks good for ghetto job but if u get hit, that thing is gonna dent like a ****, so do wat u want, or jsut leave it the way it is and go off road with it like me, and get a new car, assume u can


here is another method, CHEAP!!!!! AND GHETOEST u can fix a rust like that, ok wat u do is this:

grind all the rust off, then find a metal sheet, and cut out the shape of the round part of quarter panel and cut it so its 1inch overlap, then again screw it or use jb weld if that holds, then bondo open area and primer seal it and paint it :D

thats my 2 cent, and its ghetto as [freak], so think before u do it, pm me and bm me if u dont like it but jsut trying to help him out on low budge job, so here it is enjoy

I agree that is way to badly gone for fiberglass and bondo.

Asuming you can;t weld and have no access to a welder, like the previous poster said, get a replacment panel that will overlap by and inch or more. Cut out all the rust until you are SURE you got it all, then seal it with etching primer or POR15. Scews will work, but use panel bonding adhesive (available at any parts store). This stuff is as strong, if not stronger than welding. Best resulst will come from flanging the quater panel so the new panel sits fairly flush, but if you have to you can simply overlap them by and inch or more and hold in place with screws or rivits until the adhesive drys. Some filler and paint and you are good as new.
