Dont do anything with Bondo. You'll need to weld to fix up the rust spots on your car. It wont be cheap.

But why??? :( Why weld??

If it is just surface rust that needs to be fixed, I would just grind it down provided there is still a good amount of metal there and use a thin coat of good quality body filler to smooth it out. I'm leaving a few important steps out here ;)


I would say if theres any holes, that yeah you probably want to have them cut out and a new piece welded inplace, but I don't think any of your rust is that bad.

on your hatch.,...it is that bad. Body filler will only last a year before you need to cut it out and do it properly. Trust me, I redo my accords rear 1/4 panels every year with fiberglass & body filler. Its cheap, but, always comes back.
