This is on the driver side rear quarter. Rust is on the outer metal skin AND the inner fender well.

Every shop that has looked at said they can fix but stop short of saying that the rust around the Bond will not return. One shop says they can pack seam filler on the back side of the inner fender to stop it but I am concerned that I will spend hundreds of dollars and have it rust again.

It appears that there are no OEM or aftermarket body panels available, at least not yet. Th gens are too old by production but too new for classic. Figures.

Anyone have any advice for me in getting this near permanently fixed?

 

rust is cancer. I used to work in bodyshops throughout HS and college. Find another body piece from a part out or cut away all of it and pick a good shop with sheetmetal skills.

 

That might be too far to just do an easy fix on it. On my girlfriend 98 camry I sanded it all down to the point it was bare metal again and covered it with some rust converter paint. Doesn't look that great and it will just continue to rust. I fear the day that starts on my car

Your best bet is seeing if you can get a patch panel welded in. And yeah its gonna cost a bunch
