well your going to need to sand the rust off to begin with. Till then you do not know how bad the bubbling actually is.
The one that already has a hole, your going to need to do a patch panel. Same with the other two if they are all the way through.

Cut out all the rust and weld in new spot panels.

cheap and easy way..


this is IF thats all the rust there is..

sand/grind off all rust..
for the one with the hole, use fiberglass for the backing and body filler to clean it all up.

then paint

How is a welded in patch panel a temporary fix? Vague statement there...

Check out:

http://www.rustrepair.com
http://www.fixmyrust.com

They sell replacement wheel arches. They're perfect for what you need. If you don't have experience cutting, welding and doing body work, you may want to find someone who does, Honda metal is VERY tricky to weld properly and not warp/burn through. Stay far far far away from fiberglass garbage.

Yeah rust sucks. I had a couple of spots a few years back and I just sanded all the rust of and used a little body-filler and painted. Havent had any rust issues since. It has held up well.
