dremel ,diegrinder etc big grinder no good
-
best repair is to cut and remove affected area ,but this will take heaps of time,.welding the rust holes shut is hopeless as the rust will be back quicker then a dose of herpes, get a dremel or die grinder in there and dig it all out ,then cut shape an make small plates the stitch them in there ,then once done etch primer then a couple of hefty coats of tar based sealer thet sets rock hard to keep the water out, on the inner side of both panels give it a massive spray with xtrol then s rubberised black tar or mastic the seal is from further damage by water ,then last but least slap a shit load of fish oil everywhere
