I'm not an auto mechanic by any means so I'm asking for input on an economical way to fix this rust. I figure if I take it to a body shop they'll charge me an arm and two legs. I don't need it to look perfect I just want to stop it from spreading, fix the hole and make it black. This picture is right behind the driver's side rear tire. Thanks guys.
*EDIT* fixed image size

Why would he be talking about the plastic wheel well liner rusting???
 Plus he said he's talking about the rear, there isn't a plastic liner in the rear, its just coated. You need to find the extent of the rust and cut it all out, then cut a little more out, then weld in a patch. Even doing it this way, the welds will eventually start to rust through and you will have the same problem again. The only real way to completely stop the rust is to replace the quarter panel. -------------------- |
